How Ontario Income Tax Works

Ontario income tax is calculated using progressive tax brackets, meaning your tax rate increases as your income increases. The tax is calculated by applying each tax rate to the portion of your income that falls within that bracket.

Key Points

Tax is calculated on taxable income, not gross income
Different filing statuses have different tax brackets
Both federal and provincial taxes apply
Tax credits and deductions can reduce your tax liability

The calculator combines both federal and provincial tax calculations to give you your total tax liability for the year.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the tax for a single individual with $50,000 in taxable income in 2014.

Federal Tax Calculation

$44,700 × 15% = $6,705
Remaining $5,300 × 22% = $1,166
Total federal tax = $6,705 + $1,166 = $7,871

Ontario Provincial Tax Calculation

$42,965 × 5.05% = $2,172.48
Remaining $7,035 × 9.15% = $642.17
Total Ontario tax = $2,172.48 + $642.17 = $2,814.65

Total tax liability = $7,871 (federal) + $2,814.65 (provincial) = $10,685.65

Effective tax rate = ($10,685.65 / $50,000) × 100 = 21.37%
