Worked Example
Let's calculate the tax for a single Ontario resident with $60,000 taxable income and no deductions:
Calculation:
$0 - $44,703: $44,703 × 5.05% = $2,263.68
$44,704 - $60,000: ($60,000 - $44,703) × 9.15% = $13,336.32
Total tax = $2,263.68 + $13,336.32 = $15,600.00
This example shows that someone earning $60,000 would owe approximately $15,600 in Ontario income tax for 2018.
