Formula Used

The Ontario 2019 tax return is calculated using progressive tax brackets. The formula is:

Tax Owed = (Taxable Income × Tax Rate) - (Deductions × Deduction Rate)

The tax rates for 2019 were:

  • 5.05% on the first $44,753 of taxable income
  • 9.15% on the next $44,753
  • 11.16% on the next $50,251
  • 12.16% on the next $62,704
  • 13.16% on amounts over $162,461

Deductions are subtracted from your taxable income before calculating the tax owed.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the tax return for a single filer with $60,000 in taxable income and $5,000 in deductions.

  1. Taxable Income = $60,000 - $5,000 = $55,000
  2. First $44,753 × 5.05% = $2,261.88
  3. Next $10,247 × 9.15% = $935.66
  4. Total Tax Owed = $2,261.88 + $935.66 = $3,197.54

This filer would receive a tax refund of approximately $3,197.54.
