Ontario 2014 Tax Brackets

The Ontario 2014 tax system uses progressive tax rates, meaning higher incomes are taxed at higher rates. The tax brackets for the 2014 tax year are as follows:

Taxable Income	Tax Rate
$0 - $40,922	20.05%
$40,922 - $81,847	24.18%
$81,847 - $90,000	26.42%
$90,000 - $100,000	29.67%
$100,000+	33.50%

For married couples filing jointly, the tax brackets are slightly different due to the higher standard deduction. Always verify your specific situation with a tax professional.

Example Calculation

Let's walk through an example to see how the Ontario 2014 Tax Calculator works. Suppose you have a taxable income of $60,000 and you are filing as a single individual.

Calculation Steps

1. The first $40,922 is taxed at 20.05%: $40,922 × 0.2005 = $8,189.14

2. The next $19,078 ($60,000 - $40,922) is taxed at 24.18%: $19,078 × 0.2418 = $4,654.66

3. Total tax owed: $8,189.14 + $4,654.66 = $12,843.80

Using the calculator, you would enter $60,000 as your taxable income and select "Single" as your filing status. The calculator will then display your estimated provincial tax of $12,843.80.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When using the Ontario 2014 Tax Calculator, be aware of these common mistakes that can affect your results:

Incorrect taxable income: Ensure you enter your total taxable income, not your gross income. Subtract any deductions or exemptions before entering the amount.
Wrong filing status: Select the correct filing status to get accurate results. Married couples filing jointly have different tax brackets than single filers.
Not accounting for deductions: The calculator provides an estimate, but your actual tax liability may vary based on deductions, credits, and other factors.
Ignoring provincial vs. federal tax: This calculator only calculates provincial tax. You may also need to calculate your federal tax separately.

Always consult with a tax professional to ensure you are accurately reporting your income and deductions.
