How to Use This Calculator
To calculate your Ontario income tax for 2019:
- Enter your total taxable income for the year in the "Taxable Income" field.

Ontario Tax Brackets 2019
The Ontario tax system uses a progressive tax rate structure, meaning higher income levels are taxed at higher rates. The 2019 tax brackets are as follows:
| Taxable Income | Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 - $44,701 | 5.05% |
| $44,702 - $89,404 | 9.15% |
| $89,405 - $150,000 | 11.16% |
| $150,001 - $220,000 | 12.16% |
| Over $220,000 | 13.16% |
Note that these rates are for Ontario provincial tax only. Federal tax rates are different and would need to be calculated separately.
Calculation Method
The Ontario income tax is calculated using a progressive tax system where each income bracket is taxed at a different rate. The formula used is:
Tax Calculation Formula
Tax = (Income in first bracket × Rate 1) + (Income in second bracket × Rate 2) + ... + (Income in final bracket × Rate N)
Where each bracket's income is calculated as the difference between the upper and lower limits of that bracket.
The calculator applies these rates sequentially to your total taxable income. For example, if your income is $50,000:
- $44,701 is taxed at 5.05%
- The remaining $5,299 is taxed at 9.15%
This calculator provides an estimate based on the 2019 tax rates. Actual tax liability may vary based on deductions, credits, and other factors not accounted for in this calculation.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the tax for a single filer with $60,000 taxable income:
| Bracket | Income | Rate | Tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0 - $44,701 | $44,701 | 5.05% | $2,263.76 |
| $44,702 - $89,404 | $15,299 | 9.15% | $1,398.25 |
| Total | $60,000 | $3,662.01 |
This example shows that $60,000 taxable income would result in approximately $3,662.01 in Ontario provincial tax for a single filer in 2019.
