Ontario Tax Brackets 2022
Ontario uses a progressive tax system with different rates for different income levels. The 2022 tax brackets are as follows:
| Taxable Income | Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 - $45,142 | 5.05% |
| $45,142 - $90,287 | 9.15% |
| $90,287 - $150,000 | 11.16% |
| $150,000 - $220,000 | 12.16% |
| Over $220,000 | 13.16% |
Formula: Ontario income tax is calculated by applying the progressive rates to each portion of your taxable income that falls into different brackets.
The Ontario government also imposes the Ontario Health Premium (OHP) on higher-income earners. For 2022, the OHP applies to taxable income over $150,000 at a rate of 2.65%.
