Ontario Tax Brackets (2024)

Taxable Income	Tax Rate
$0 - $49,020	5.05%
$49,020.01 - $98,040	9.15%
$98,040.01 - $150,000	11.16%
$150,000.01 - $220,000	12.16%
Over $220,000	13.16%

The calculator applies these brackets to your taxable income to determine the correct tax amount.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the net pay for someone earning $60,000 in Ontario for 2024.

Step 1: Calculate Income Tax

Using the 2024 Ontario tax brackets:

$49,020 × 5.05% = $2,451.09
($60,000 - $49,020) × 9.15% = $10,788.95
Total Income Tax = $2,451.09 + $10,788.95 = $13,240.04

Step 2: Calculate CPP

CPP is 5.95% of earnings (capped at $63,900):

$60,000 × 5.95% = $3,570.00

Step 3: Calculate EI

EI is 1.66% of earnings (capped at $60,200):

$60,000 × 1.66% = $996.00

Step 4: Calculate Net Pay

Net Pay = Gross Salary - (Income Tax + CPP + EI)

$60,000 - ($13,240.04 + $3,570.00 + $996.00) = $41,193.96

For a $60,000 salary in Ontario, the estimated net pay is $41,194 after taxes and deductions.
