Ontario Tax Brackets for 2018
The Ontario tax system uses progressive tax rates, meaning higher incomes are taxed at higher rates. The tax brackets for the 2018 tax year are as follows:
Ontario Tax Brackets (2018)
| Taxable Income | Marginal Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 - $44,703 | 5.05% |
| $44,704 - $89,407 | 9.15% |
| $89,408 - $150,000 | 11.16% |
| $150,001 - $220,000 | 12.16% |
| $220,001 and above | 13.16% |
These tax brackets apply to all Ontario residents, regardless of their federal tax status. The Ontario government uses these rates to calculate provincial taxes, which are in addition to federal taxes.
Example Calculation
Let's walk through an example to illustrate how the Ontario Taxes 2018 Calculator works. Suppose you have a taxable income of $95,000 and you are filing as a single individual.
Example Calculation
Taxable Income: $95,000
Filing Status: Single
Calculation:
- $44,703 × 5.05% = $2,258.72
- ($89,407 - $44,703) × 9.15% = $4,084.09
- ($95,000 - $89,407) × 11.16% = $656.19
Total Ontario Provincial Tax: $2,258.72 + $4,084.09 + $656.19 = $7,000.00
In this example, your estimated Ontario provincial tax liability would be $7,000. Keep in mind that this is an estimate and your actual tax liability may vary based on additional factors such as deductions, credits, and other tax considerations.
Common Deductions and Credits
In addition to your taxable income, there are several deductions and credits that can help reduce your Ontario provincial tax liability. Some common deductions and credits include:
- Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Contributions: You can deduct your CPP contributions from your taxable income.
- Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) Contributions: You can deduct your RRSP contributions from your taxable income.
- Medical Expenses: You can deduct eligible medical expenses that exceed 3% of your net income.

It's important to consult with a tax professional or the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to ensure you are claiming all eligible deductions and credits. The Ontario Taxes 2018 Calculator provides an estimate of your provincial tax liability based on your taxable income, but it does not account for deductions, credits, or other tax considerations.
