Tax Calculation Formula
The Ontario income tax is calculated using progressive tax brackets. The formula used in this calculator is:
Tax = (Income × Rate) - Deductions
Where Rate is determined by the Ontario tax brackets:
- 5.05% on the first $49,231 of taxable income
- 9.15% on the next $49,231 to $98,462
- 11.16% on the next $98,460 to $150,000
- 12.16% on the next $150,000 to $220,000
- 13.16% on income over $220,000
The calculator also accounts for basic personal amount deductions, which vary by filing status. For single filers, the basic personal amount is $12,709 in 2023.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the tax for a single filer with a gross income of $60,000.
- Subtract the basic personal amount: $60,000 - $12,709 = $47,291 taxable income
- Calculate tax on first bracket: $49,231 × 5.05% = $2,461.56
- Calculate tax on second bracket: ($47,291 - $49,231) × 9.15% = $0 (since $47,291 is less than $49,231)
- Total tax: $2,461.56
- Net income: $60,000 - $2,461.56 = $57,538.44
Using the calculator with these inputs would show similar results.
