How Ontario Income Tax Works

Ontario's income tax system is progressive, meaning higher earners pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes. The tax is calculated based on your annual salary and filing status. Here's a simplified breakdown:

Determine your taxable income by subtracting deductions and credits from your gross income.
Apply the Ontario tax rates to your taxable income based on your filing status.
Calculate your federal tax separately and add it to your Ontario tax to get your total income tax.

Ontario also has a provincial sales tax (PST) and a harmonized sales tax (HST) that apply to goods and services, but these are not part of income tax calculations.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the Ontario income tax for a single individual earning $60,000 per year.

Example Calculation

For a salary of $60,000:

$0 - $45,142: $45,142 × 5.05% = $2,264.77
$45,142 - $60,000: ($60,000 - $45,142) × 9.15% = $1,357.23
Total Ontario tax: $2,264.77 + $1,357.23 = $3,622.00

Note: This is the provincial tax only. Federal tax would be calculated separately and added to this amount for total income tax.

This example shows that someone earning $60,000 would owe approximately $3,622 in Ontario provincial tax. The actual amount may vary based on deductions and credits.
