Ontario Tax Brackets

Ontario uses a progressive tax system with different rates for different income levels. The current tax brackets for 2023 are:

Taxable Income Tax Rate
$0 - $44,703 5.05%
$44,704 - $89,407 9.15%
$89,408 - $150,000 11.16%

Note that these are provincial tax rates. Federal tax rates are calculated separately and added to the provincial tax to determine your total tax liability.

Calculation Method

The Ontario weekly income tax calculator uses the following formula to determine your tax liability:

Total Tax = Federal Tax + Provincial Tax Federal Tax = Federal Tax Brackets (gross income) Provincial Tax = Ontario Tax Brackets (gross income)

The calculator accounts for:

  • Progressive tax brackets for both federal and provincial taxes
  • Different filing statuses (single, married, etc.)
  • Current tax rates for the 2023 tax year

After calculating your total tax, the calculator subtracts this from your gross income to determine your net take-home pay.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the tax for someone earning $1,200 weekly as a single filer:

  1. Gross weekly income: $1,200
  2. Annual gross income: $1,200 × 52 = $62,400
  3. Federal tax: $6,500 (using federal tax brackets)
  4. Provincial tax: $3,200 (using Ontario tax brackets)
  5. Total tax: $6,500 + $3,200 = $9,700
  6. Annual net income: $62,400 - $9,700 = $52,700
  7. Weekly net income: $52,700 ÷ 52 ≈ $1,013.46

So someone earning $1,200 weekly would take home approximately $1,013.46 after taxes.
