Formula Used
The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your Ontario taxes:
Taxable Income = Gross Income - Deductions - Standard Deduction
Provincial Tax = Taxable Income × Ontario Tax Rate
CPP = Insurable Earnings × 5.4%
EI = Insurable Earnings × 1.66%
Total Tax = Provincial Tax + CPP + EI
Net Income = Gross Income - Total Tax
Where:
- Ontario Tax Rate is based on progressive brackets
- Insurable Earnings are calculated based on your income
- Standard Deduction varies by filing status
Worked Example
Let's calculate taxes for a single person with $50,000 gross income and no additional deductions.
| Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|
| Gross Income | $50,000 |
| Standard Deduction (Single) | $12,069 |
| Taxable Income | $50,000 - $12,069 = $37,931 |
| Provincial Tax (Ontario) | $37,931 × 5.05% = $1,914 |
| CPP (5.4%) | $50,000 × 5.4% = $2,700 |
| EI (1.66%) | $50,000 × 1.66% = $830 |
| Total Tax | $1,914 + $2,700 + $830 = $5,444 |
| Net Income | $50,000 - $5,444 = $44,556 |
For this example, the estimated net income after taxes is $44,556.
