How Ontario Income Tax Works

Ontario income tax is calculated using a progressive tax system, meaning your tax rate increases as your income increases. The tax is applied to your taxable income, which is your total income minus any deductions.

The Ontario government collects provincial tax, while the federal government collects income tax. The total tax payable is the sum of the provincial and federal taxes.

Tax Calculation Formula

Provincial Tax = Taxable Income × Provincial Tax Rate

Federal Tax = Taxable Income × Federal Tax Rate

Total Tax = Provincial Tax + Federal Tax

For example, if your taxable income is $50,000 and you are in the 9.15% provincial tax bracket and 22% federal tax bracket, your tax liability would be:

$50,000 × 9.15% = $4,575 (provincial tax)

$50,000 × 22% = $11,000 (federal tax)

$4,575 + $11,000 = $15,575 (total tax)

Worked Example

Let's calculate the income tax for a single individual with a taxable income of $60,000 in 2012.

Determine the applicable tax brackets:
- $0 - $39,840: 5.05% provincial, 15% federal
- $39,841 - $60,000: 9.15% provincial, 22% federal
Calculate the tax for the first bracket:
- $39,840 × 5.05% = $1,992 (provincial)
- $39,840 × 15% = $5,976 (federal)
Calculate the tax for the second bracket:
- ($60,000 - $39,840) × 9.15% = $1,716 (provincial)
- ($60,000 - $39,840) × 22% = $4,352 (federal)
Sum the taxes:
- Provincial tax: $1,992 + $1,716 = $3,708
- Federal tax: $5,976 + $4,352 = $10,328
- Total tax: $3,708 + $10,328 = $14,036

Therefore, the total tax payable for a taxable income of $60,000 in 2012 would be approximately $14,036.
