Taxable Income	Tax Rate
$0 - $44,703	5.05%
$44,704 - $89,407	9.15%
$89,408 - $150,000	11.16%

How to Calculate Ontario Tax

The Ontario provincial tax is calculated by applying the progressive tax rates to your taxable income. Here's how it works:

Formula:

Provincial Tax = (Income × Rate1) + [(Income - Threshold1) × Rate2] + ... + [(Income - ThresholdN) × RateN]

Where:

Income = Your taxable income
Rate1, Rate2, etc. = Progressive tax rates
Threshold1, Threshold2, etc. = Income thresholds for each tax bracket

For example, if your taxable income is $60,000:

First $44,703 × 5.05% = $2,262.17
Next $15,297 × 9.15% = $1,400.60
Total provincial tax = $2,262.17 + $1,400.60 = $3,662.77
