How This Is Calculated

The calculator applies the Ontario provincial tax rates progressively to your taxable income. Here's the formula used:

If Income ≤ $43,906: Tax = Income × 0.0505 If $43,907 ≤ Income ≤ $87,813: Tax = $2,231.30 + (Income - $43,906) × 0.0915 If $87,814 ≤ Income ≤ $150,000: Tax = $6,079.38 + (Income - $87,813) × 0.1116 If $150,001 ≤ Income ≤ $220,000: Tax = $12,504.54 + (Income - $150,000) × 0.1216 If Income > $220,000: Tax = $19,721.10 + (Income - $220,000) × 0.1316

The basic personal amount of $10,922 is subtracted from your gross income to determine taxable income.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the tax for someone with a taxable income of $75,000:

First $43,906: $43,906 × 0.0505 = $2,231.30
Next $33,187 ($75,000 - $43,906): $33,187 × 0.0915 = $3,038.07
Total tax: $2,231.30 + $3,038.07 = $5,269.37

Using the calculator, you would enter $75,000 and get $5,269.37 as the result.
