Ontario Tax Rates 2019

In 2019, Ontario had a progressive tax system with different rates for different income brackets. The federal tax rates were also applied to Ontario residents.

$47,630 - $95,259 20.5% 9.15%
$95,259 - $147,667 26% 11.16%

How Ontario Taxes Are Calculated

The Ontario tax calculation involves applying both federal and provincial tax rates to your taxable income. Here's how it works:

  1. Calculate federal tax using the federal tax brackets and rates.
  2. Calculate Ontario provincial tax using the Ontario tax brackets and rates.
  3. Add the federal and provincial taxes together to get the total tax liability.

Total Tax = Federal Tax + Ontario Tax

Deductions and credits can reduce your taxable income or directly reduce your tax liability. The calculator does not include all possible deductions and credits, but provides a good estimate of your tax obligation.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Single Person with $50,000 Income

For a single person earning $50,000 in 2019:

  1. Federal tax: $5,250 (15% of $35,000 in first bracket + 20.5% of $15,000 in second bracket)
  2. Ontario tax: $2,339 (5.05% of $35,000 + 9.15% of $15,000)
  3. Total tax: $7,589

Example 2: Family with $100,000 Income and 2 Dependents

For a family earning $100,000 with 2 dependents:

  1. Federal tax: $12,650 (15% of $47,630 + 20.5% of $47,629)
  2. Ontario tax: $5,600 (5.05% of $47,630 + 9.15% of $47,629)
  3. Total tax: $18,250

Note that the number of dependents affects the basic personal amount, which reduces taxable income.
