Tax Calculation Formula

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.

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.
