Formula Used

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

Total Tax = Federal Tax + Provincial Tax

Where:

  • Federal Tax is calculated using Canada's federal tax brackets and rates.
  • Provincial Tax is calculated using Ontario's provincial tax brackets and rates.

Both federal and provincial taxes are progressive, meaning higher income levels are taxed at higher rates. The calculator applies the appropriate tax brackets based on your filing status.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you have a taxable income of $60,000 and you are filing as Single.

  1. Enter $60,000 in the income field.
  2. Select "Single" from the filing status dropdown.
  3. Click "Calculate".

The calculator will compute:

  • Federal Tax: $10,200 (based on Canada's federal tax brackets)
  • Provincial Tax: $6,000 (based on Ontario's provincial tax brackets)
  • Total Tax: $16,200

This example shows how the calculator combines federal and provincial taxes to give you a complete picture of your tax liability.
