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.
