Worked Example

Let's calculate the tax for a single filer with a taxable income of $50,000 in 2015.

1. Federal Tax Calculation:
   • $0 - $11,475: 15% → $1,721.25
   • $11,475 - $45,651: 22% → $7,273.42
   • $45,651 - $50,000: 26% → $1,053.30
   • Total Federal Tax = $1,721.25 + $7,273.42 + $1,053.30 = $10,047.97
2. Ontario Tax Calculation:
   • $0 - $41,908: 5.05% → $2,113.99
   • $41,908 - $50,000: 9.15% → $763.66
   • Total Ontario Tax = $2,113.99 + $763.66 = $2,877.65
3. Total Tax = $10,047.97 (Federal) + $2,877.65 (Ontario) = $12,925.62

This example shows that a single filer with $50,000 in taxable income would owe approximately $12,925.62 in combined federal and Ontario taxes for the 2015 tax year.
