  • 5.05% on the first $49,208 of taxable income
  • 9.15% on the next $49,208 ($49,209 to $98,416)
  • 11.16% on the next $59,668 ($98,417 to $158,085)
  • 12.16% on the next $65,784 ($158,086 to $223,870)
  • 13.16% on amounts over $223,870

Note: These rates are subject to change each year. Always verify with the latest government publications.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Low Income

For someone with $50,000 total income and $10,000 in federal deductions:

  • Taxable Income = $50,000 - $10,000 = $40,000
  • Ontario Tax = $40,000 × 5.05% = $2,020

Example 2: Medium Income

For someone with $100,000 total income and $20,000 in federal deductions:

  • Taxable Income = $100,000 - $20,000 = $80,000
  • First $49,208 × 5.05% = $2,479.54
  • Next $30,792 × 9.15% = $2,825.94
  • Total Ontario Tax = $2,479.54 + $2,825.94 = $5,305.48
