How This Is Calculated
The Ontario income tax is calculated using a progressive tax system. The calculator applies the following formula:
The taxable income is divided into brackets, and each portion is taxed at the corresponding rate. For example, if your taxable income is $50,000:
- $41,907 × 20.05% = $8,381.44
- ($50,000 - $41,907) × 24.19% = $2,102.66
- Total tax = $8,381.44 + $2,102.66 = $10,484.10
The calculator handles this calculation automatically when you enter your income and click "Calculate".
Worked Example
Let's calculate the Ontario income tax for a single taxpayer with a taxable income of $60,000 in 2014.
- First $41,907 at 20.05%: $41,907 × 0.2005 = $8,381.44
- Next $18,093 ($60,000 - $41,907) at 24.19%: $18,093 × 0.2419 = $4,391.19
- Total tax: $8,381.44 + $4,391.19 = $12,772.63
Using the calculator, you would enter $60,000 as the taxable income and select "Single" as the filing status to get this result.
