Tax Calculation Formula

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your Ontario taxes:

Formula

Total Tax = Provincial Tax + Federal Tax + CPP + EI

Where:

Provincial Tax = Gross Income × Provincial Tax Rate
Federal Tax = Gross Income × Federal Tax Rate
CPP = Gross Income × CPP Rate
EI = Gross Income × EI Rate

The tax rates are based on the current Ontario and federal tax brackets. The calculator uses progressive tax rates that apply to different income brackets.

Tax Brackets

Income Range	Provincial Rate	Federal Rate
$0 - $45,282	5.05%	15%
$45,282 - $90,563	9.15%	20.5%
$90,563 - $150,000	11.16%	26%
$150,000 - $220,000	12.16%	29%
Over $220,000	13.16%	33%

Worked Example

Let's calculate taxes for a single person with a gross income of $60,000.

Step-by-Step Calculation

Determine the applicable tax brackets:
- $0 - $45,282: 5.05% provincial, 15% federal
- $45,282 - $60,000: 9.15% provincial, 20.5% federal
Calculate provincial tax:
- First bracket: $45,282 × 5.05% = $2,277.74
- Second bracket: ($60,000 - $45,282) × 9.15% = $1,317.26
- Total provincial tax: $2,277.74 + $1,317.26 = $3,595.00
Calculate federal tax:
- First bracket: $45,282 × 15% = $6,792.30
- Second bracket: ($60,000 - $45,282) × 20.5% = $2,847.70
- Total federal tax: $6,792.30 + $2,847.70 = $9,640.00
Calculate CPP and EI:
- CPP: $60,000 × 5.95% = $3,570.00
- EI: $60,000 × 1.66% = $996.00
Total tax: $3,595.00 (provincial) + $9,640.00 (federal) + $3,570.00 (CPP) + $996.00 (EI) = $17,801.00
Net pay: $60,000 - $17,801.00 = $42,199.00

Result

For a single person earning $60,000, the estimated total tax is $17,801, leaving a net pay of $42,199.
