Formula Used

The Ontario Business Income Tax is calculated using the following formula:

The tax rate depends on your tax bracket, which is determined by your business income. The standard tax brackets for Ontario businesses are:

• 0% for the first $50,000 of business income
• 12% for the next $50,000 ($50,001 to $100,000)
• 16% for the next $100,000 ($100,001 to $200,000)
• 20% for the next $200,000 ($200,001 to $400,000)
• 24% for the next $200,000 ($400,001 to $600,000)
• 26% for amounts over $600,000

The calculator applies the appropriate tax rates to each portion of your income to determine your total tax liability.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the tax for a business with $350,000 in income:

1. $50,000 × 0% = $0
2. $50,000 × 12% = $6,000
3. $100,000 × 16% = $16,000
4. $150,000 × 20% = $30,000

Total tax = $0 + $6,000 + $16,000 + $30,000 = $52,000
