How This Is Calculated

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

Total Tax = Federal Tax + Ontario Tax Federal Tax = Sum of (Bracket Amount × Bracket Rate) Ontario Tax = Sum of (Bracket Amount × Bracket Rate)

Where:

Bracket Amount is the portion of income in each tax bracket
Bracket Rate is the tax rate for that bracket

The calculator applies the appropriate tax brackets based on your filing status and taxable income.

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the tax for a single filer with $80,000 taxable income:

Federal Tax:
- $45,282 × 15% = $6,792.30
- ($80,000 - $45,282) × 20.5% = $7,138.79
- Total Federal Tax = $6,792.30 + $7,138.79 = $13,931.09
Ontario Tax:
- $43,906 × 5.05% = $2,195.33
- ($80,000 - $43,906) × 9.15% = $3,136.68
- Total Ontario Tax = $2,195.33 + $3,136.68 = $5,332.01
Total Tax = $13,931.09 + $5,332.01 = $19,263.10

This example shows how your income is taxed across different brackets.
