Tax Calculation Formula

Ontario uses a progressive tax system with different tax rates for different income brackets. The formula for calculating Ontario personal income tax is:

Formula

Ontario Tax = Sum of (Taxable Income × Tax Rate) for each applicable bracket

Federal Tax = Sum of (Taxable Income × Federal Tax Rate) for each applicable bracket

Total Tax = Ontario Tax + Federal Tax - Deductions/Credits

The current tax brackets for Ontario residents are:

Taxable Income	Ontario Rate	Federal Rate
$0 - $49,020	5.05%	15%
$49,020.01 - $98,040	9.15%	20.5%
$98,040.01 - $150,000	11.16%	26%
$150,000.01 - $220,000	12.16%	29%
Over $220,000	13.16%	33%

Worked Example

Let's calculate the tax for a single Ontario resident with $60,000 taxable income:

Example Calculation

1. First $49,020 at 5.05% Ontario + 15% federal = $2,451 + $7,353 = $9,804

2. Next $10,980 at 9.15% Ontario + 20.5% federal = $1,006 + $2,255 = $3,261

3. Total tax = $9,804 + $3,261 = $13,065

This example shows how the progressive tax system applies to different income brackets. The first portion of income is taxed at lower rates, while higher brackets have higher tax rates.
