What is a Marginal Tax Rate?

The marginal tax rate is the percentage of your income that is taxed at each progressive tax bracket. In Ontario, your marginal tax rate depends on how much you earn. As your income increases, you move into higher tax brackets, and each additional dollar you earn is taxed at a higher rate.

Understanding your marginal tax rate helps you plan your finances, understand how much of your income goes to taxes, and make informed decisions about your earnings and deductions.

Example Calculations

Let's look at a few examples to understand how the marginal tax rate works in Ontario for 2014.

Example 1: $30,000 Income

If you earn $30,000 in 2014, you fall into the first tax bracket ($0 - $40,922). Your marginal tax rate is 20%. This means:

• The first $30,000 is taxed at 20%.
• Your total tax would be $6,000 ($30,000 × 20%).

Example 2: $50,000 Income

If you earn $50,000 in 2014, you fall into the second tax bracket ($40,923 - $81,847). Your marginal tax rate is 26%. This means:

• The first $40,922 is taxed at 20%.
• The remaining $9,078 ($50,000 - $40,922) is taxed at 26%.
• Your total tax would be $10,184.40 (($40,922 × 20%) + ($9,078 × 26%)).

Example 3: $95,000 Income

If you earn $95,000 in 2014, you fall into the fourth tax bracket ($90,001 - $100,000). Your marginal tax rate is 36%. This means:

• The first $40,922 is taxed at 20%.
• The next $40,925 ($81,847 - $40,922) is taxed at 26%.
• The next $8,153 ($90,000 - $81,847) is taxed at 31%.
• The remaining $5,000 ($95,000 - $90,000) is taxed at 36%.
• Your total tax would be $24,284.93 (($40,922 × 20%) + ($40,925 × 26%) + ($8,153 × 31%) + ($5,000 × 36%)).
