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%.

Common Deductions and Credits

Several deductions and credits can reduce your taxable income and lower your tax liability. Common options include:

Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions
Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) contributions
Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) contributions
Medical expenses over 3% of income
Donations to qualified charities
Home office expenses
