Calculation Method
The Ontario personal income tax calculator uses the following method to determine your tax liability:
Total Tax = Provincial Tax + Federal Tax
The provincial tax is calculated based on your income and the Ontario tax brackets shown above. The federal tax is calculated using the corresponding federal tax brackets.
For example, if your taxable income is $50,000:
- The first $41,908 is taxed at 5.05% provincial and 15% federal.
- The remaining $8,092 is taxed at 9.15% provincial and 22% federal.
The calculator sums these amounts to provide your total tax payable.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the tax for a single filer with $50,000 taxable income in 2014.
- First $41,908 at 5.05% provincial: $2,112.94
- First $41,908 at 15% federal: $6,286.20
- Next $8,092 at 9.15% provincial: $736.59
- Next $8,092 at 22% federal: $1,780.24
Total Provincial Tax: $2,112.94 + $736.59 = $2,849.53
Total Federal Tax: $6,286.20 + $1,780.24 = $8,066.44
Total Tax Payable: $2,849.53 + $8,066.44 = $10,915.97
This example shows the tax calculation for a single filer. The actual amount may vary slightly based on your specific deductions and credits.
