Ontario Tax Brackets 2019

Ontario's progressive tax system applies different rates to different income levels. The 2019 tax brackets for Ontario residents were:

Taxable Income Marginal Rate
$0 - $44,701 5.05%
$44,702 - $89,404 9.15%
$89,405 - $150,000 11.16%
$150,001 - $220,000 12.16%
$220,001+ 13.16%

The federal tax rates for 2019 were similar but with different brackets. The calculator combines both federal and provincial calculations for a complete estimate.

Federal Tax Calculation

The federal government uses a progressive tax system with these 2019 brackets:

Taxable Income Marginal Rate
$0 - $48,535 15%
$48,536 - $97,069 20.5%
$97,070 - $150,473 26%
$150,474 - $214,368 29%
$214,369+ 33%

The federal tax is calculated by applying the appropriate rate to each bracket of income, starting from the lowest.

Provincial Tax Calculation

Ontario's provincial tax is calculated using the brackets shown earlier. The formula for provincial tax is:

Provincial Tax = (Income × Rate) - (Previous Bracket × Previous Rate)

For example, someone earning $50,000 would pay:

  • $44,701 × 5.05% = $2,253.55
  • ($50,000 - $44,701) × 9.15% = $526.44
  • Total provincial tax = $2,253.55 + $526.44 = $2,779.99

Common Deductions

Several deductions can reduce your taxable income. Common ones include:

  • RRSP contributions (up to $26,460 in 2019)
  • Medical expenses (up to $3,680)
  • Donations to registered charities
  • Home office expenses
  • Tuition and education amounts

The calculator does not automatically apply deductions, but you can manually adjust your taxable income before calculating.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the tax for someone earning $60,000 in 2019.

Example Calculation

Federal Tax:

  • $48,535 × 15% = $7,280.25
  • ($60,000 - $48,535) × 20.5% = $2,311.35
  • Total federal tax = $7,280.25 + $2,311.35 = $9,591.60

Provincial Tax:

  • $44,701 × 5.05% = $2,253.55
  • ($60,000 - $44,701) × 9.15% = $1,300.44
  • Total provincial tax = $2,253.55 + $1,300.44 = $3,553.99

Total Estimated Tax: $9,591.60 + $3,553.99 = $13,145.59

This example shows the combined federal and provincial tax liability for a $60,000 income in 2019.
