Calculation Method
The Ontario 2019 income tax calculator uses the following method to calculate your tax liability:
Total Tax = Federal Tax + Provincial Tax
Where:
- Federal Tax is calculated using the federal tax brackets and rates
- Provincial Tax is calculated using the Ontario provincial tax brackets and rates
The calculator applies the tax rates progressively, meaning higher income amounts are taxed at higher rates. For example, if your taxable income is $50,000, the first $45,142 is taxed at 5.05%, and the remaining $4,858 is taxed at 9.15%.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the tax for a single filer with a taxable income of $60,000 in 2019.
- First $45,142 is taxed at 5.05%: $45,142 × 0.0505 = $2,274.81
- Next $14,858 (from $45,142 to $60,000) is taxed at 9.15%: $14,858 × 0.0915 = $1,361.74
- Total tax = $2,274.81 + $1,361.74 = $3,636.55
This example shows how the progressive tax system works. The first portion of income is taxed at a lower rate, and higher portions are taxed at progressively higher rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between taxable income and gross income?
Taxable income is your gross income minus any deductions or exemptions. Gross income includes all income from wages, investments, and other sources before any deductions are applied.
How do I find my taxable income?
Your taxable income is typically calculated by subtracting your deductions and exemptions from your gross income. You can find this information on your T4 slip or by using tax preparation software.
Are there any deductions or credits I can claim?
Yes, there are many deductions and credits available in Ontario. Common deductions include RRSP contributions, medical expenses, and tuition fees. Credits like the Canada Child Benefit and the Ontario Trillium Benefit can also reduce your tax liability.
