Example Calculation

Let's calculate the income tax for a taxpayer with $80,000 taxable income in 2016.

Federal Tax Calculation

$45,282 × 15% = $6,792.30
($80,000 - $45,282) × 20.5% = $7,073.74
Total Federal Tax = $6,792.30 + $7,073.74 = $13,866.04

Ontario Tax Calculation

$42,961 × 15% = $6,444.15
($80,000 - $42,961) × 20% = $7,407.80
Total Ontario Tax = $6,444.15 + $7,407.80 = $13,851.95

Total Tax Liability

$13,866.04 (federal) + $13,851.95 (Ontario) = $27,717.99

Net Income

$80,000 - $27,717.99 = $52,282.01
