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%
