Calculate your Ontario income tax for 2019 using this tax calculator. Ontario has a progressive income tax system with different tax rates for different income levels. This calculator helps you estimate your tax liability based on your taxable income.

How the Ontario Tax Calculator Works

The Ontario tax calculator uses the 2019 Ontario tax rates to calculate your income tax liability. Ontario's income tax system is progressive, meaning higher income levels are taxed at higher rates. The calculator applies these rates to your taxable income to determine your total tax obligation.

Tax Calculation Formula

Ontario income tax is calculated using progressive tax brackets. The formula is:

Tax = (Income × Rate) - (Previous Bracket × Rate)

Where:

  • Income = Your taxable income
  • Rate = The applicable tax rate for your income bracket
  • Previous Bracket = The upper limit of the previous tax bracket

The calculator applies these rates sequentially to your income to determine your total tax liability. For example, if your income is $50,000, the calculator will apply the rates for each bracket up to $50,000.
