Understanding your marginal tax rate in Ontario for 2013 helps you plan your finances effectively. This calculator provides a simple way to determine how much tax you'll pay on your income based on Ontario's 2013 tax brackets.
What is a Marginal Tax Rate?
The marginal tax rate is the rate at which your next dollar of income is taxed. It represents the additional tax you pay when you earn one more dollar of income. Marginal tax rates change as your income increases because different income brackets have different tax rates.
For example, if you earn $40,000 in Ontario in 2013, your marginal tax rate is 20% because that's the rate applied to income between $35,820 and $82,258.
Ontario Tax Brackets (2013)
In 2013, Ontario had the following progressive tax rates:
| Income Range | Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 - $35,820 | 16% |
| $35,821 - $82,258 | 20% |
| $82,259 - $150,000 | 26% |
| $150,001 - $220,000 | 29% |
| Over $220,000 | 33% |
These brackets apply to both federal and provincial taxes in Ontario. The calculator combines these rates to show your effective marginal tax rate.

Example Calculation
Let's say you earn $50,000 in Ontario in 2013. Here's how the calculation works:
- The first $35,820 is taxed at 16%.
- The next $14,180 ($50,000 - $35,820) is taxed at 20%.
- Your marginal tax rate is 20% because that's the rate applied to your next dollar of income.
Using this calculator, you would enter $50,000 and see that your marginal tax rate is 20%.
FAQ
- What is the difference between marginal and average tax rates?
- The marginal tax rate is the rate at which your next dollar is taxed, while the average tax rate is the total tax paid divided by total income. The marginal rate changes with income, while the average rate is a weighted average.
- Do Ontario's tax brackets change every year?
- Yes, Ontario's tax brackets are typically adjusted annually to account for inflation and changes in the economy. The 2013 brackets were specific to that year.
- Are there any deductions or credits that affect the marginal tax rate?
- Yes, deductions and credits can reduce your taxable income and potentially lower your marginal tax rate. However, this calculator provides a simplified estimate based on gross income.
- Can I use this calculator for other provinces?
- No, this calculator is specifically designed for Ontario's 2013 tax brackets. Each province has its own tax rates and brackets.
- Is the marginal tax rate the same as the effective tax rate?
- No, the marginal tax rate is the rate at which your next dollar is taxed, while the effective tax rate is the average rate applied to your total income. They are different because of progressive tax systems.
