Formula Used
The formula used by this calculator is based on the Ontario provincial tax rates:
Taxable Income = Total Income - RRSP Contributions
Provincial Tax = Taxable Income × Ontario Provincial Tax Rate
The Ontario provincial tax rates are as follows:
- First $44,703: 5.05%
- Next $44,704 to $89,406: 9.15%
- Next $89,407 to $150,000: 11.16%
- Amount over $150,000: 12.16%
The calculator applies these rates progressively to calculate your provincial tax liability.
Worked Example
Let's look at an example to understand how the calculator works:
Suppose you have a total income of $80,000 and you contribute $10,000 to your RRSP.
- Taxable Income = $80,000 - $10,000 = $70,000
- First $44,703 × 5.05% = $2,257.65
- Next $25,297 ($70,000 - $44,703) × 9.15% = $2,322.84
- Total Provincial Tax = $2,257.65 + $2,322.84 = $4,580.49
In this example, your estimated provincial tax liability after RRSP deductions is $4,580.49.
