Tax Calculation Formula

The Ontario Salary Tax Calculator uses the following formula to calculate your taxes:

Net Salary = Gross Salary - (Federal Tax + Ontario Provincial Tax + Ontario Health Tax)

Federal Tax Calculation

The federal tax is calculated using progressive tax brackets for 2017:

Federal Tax = Sum of (Taxable Income × Tax Rate) for each bracket

Ontario Provincial Tax Calculation

The Ontario provincial tax is also calculated using progressive tax brackets:

Ontario Tax = Sum of (Taxable Income × Tax Rate) for each Ontario bracket

Ontario Health Tax Calculation

The Ontario Health Tax is a flat rate applied to taxable income:

Ontario Health Tax = Taxable Income × 0.0505

Taxable Income

Taxable income is calculated as:

Taxable Income = Gross Salary - (CPP Contributions + EI Premiums)

Worked Example

Let's calculate the taxes for a gross salary of $50,000 in Ontario for 2017.

Step 1: Calculate CPP and EI

For 2017, the CPP contribution rate is 5.95% and the EI premium rate is 1.66%.

CPP = $50,000 × 0.0595 = $2,975

EI = $50,000 × 0.0166 = $830

Total Deductions = $2,975 + $830 = $3,805

Step 2: Calculate Taxable Income

Taxable Income = $50,000 - $3,805 = $46,195

Step 3: Calculate Federal Tax

Using the 2017 federal tax brackets:

$44,700 × 0.15 = $6,705

($46,195 - $44,700) × 0.205 = $305

Total Federal Tax = $6,705 + $305 = $7,010

Step 4: Calculate Ontario Provincial Tax

Using the 2017 Ontario tax brackets:

$44,700 × 0.0505 = $2,263

($46,195 - $44,700) × 0.0915 = $132

Total Ontario Tax = $2,263 + $132 = $2,395

Step 5: Calculate Ontario Health Tax

Ontario Health Tax = $46,195 × 0.0505 = $2,337

Step 6: Calculate Net Salary

Total Taxes = $7,010 + $2,395 + $2,337 = $11,742

Net Salary = $50,000 - $11,742 = $38,258

For a $50,000 salary in Ontario in 2017, the net salary after taxes is $38,258.
