How Ontario Income Tax Works

Ontario uses a progressive tax system, meaning your tax rate increases as your income increases. The provincial government collects income tax from individuals and businesses to fund public services and programs.

The Ontario government sets the tax rates and brackets, which are reviewed and adjusted periodically. The current tax rates are applied to your taxable income after deductions and credits.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the provincial tax for a single individual with a taxable income of $60,000.

The first $48,535 is taxed at 5.05%: $48,535 × 0.0505 = $2,450.48
The next $11,465 ($60,000 - $48,535) is taxed at 9.15%: $11,465 × 0.0915 = $1,048.21
Total provincial tax: $2,450.48 + $1,048.21 = $3,498.69

Using the calculator, you would enter $60,000 as the taxable income and select "Single" as the filing status to arrive at the same result.
