Let's calculate the tax for a single person with $50,000 in taxable income:

Enter $50,000 as the taxable income
Select "Single" as the filing status
Click "Calculate"

The calculator will show that the total tax owed is approximately $8,500, with $4,200 from provincial taxes and $4,300 from federal taxes.

Income Bracket	Tax Rate	Taxable Income	Tax Owed
First $44,763	5.06%	$44,763	$2,268
Next $44,763	9.15%	$44,763	$4,060
Remaining $5,474	11.16%	$5,474	$612
