How Ontario Income Tax Works

The Ontario income tax system combines provincial and federal taxes. Here's how it works:

Provincial Tax Calculation

Ontario uses a progressive tax system where higher income brackets pay higher tax rates. The provincial tax is calculated as follows:

Provincial Tax = Sum of (Taxable Income × Rate for each bracket)

Federal Tax Calculation

The federal government also taxes income with its own progressive tax system:

Federal Tax = Sum of (Taxable Income × Rate for each bracket)

Total Tax and Net Income

The total tax is the sum of provincial and federal taxes. Net income is calculated by subtracting total tax from total income:

Net Income = Total Income - (Provincial Tax + Federal Tax)
