Formula Used

The Ontario Tax Calculator uses the following formula to calculate your tax liability:

Provincial Tax = Taxable Income × Provincial Tax Rate

CPP Contributions = Taxable Income × CPP Rate

EI Premiums = Taxable Income × EI Rate

Total Tax Liability = Provincial Tax + CPP Contributions + EI Premiums

The provincial tax rate, CPP rate, and EI rate are based on the 2025 tax tables provided by the Government of Ontario. These rates may vary depending on your taxable income and filing status.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you have a taxable income of $50,000 and you are filing as a single individual.

Using the 2025 tax rates:

Provincial Tax Rate: 5.05%
CPP Rate: 5.95%
EI Rate: 1.66%

The calculations would be as follows:

Provincial Tax = $50,000 × 5.05% = $2,525

CPP Contributions = $50,000 × 5.95% = $2,975

EI Premiums = $50,000 × 1.66% = $830

Total Tax Liability = $2,525 + $2,975 + $830 = $6,330

This example shows that your total tax liability for the year would be $6,330, which includes provincial tax, CPP contributions, and EI premiums.
