How Ontario Income Tax Works

Ontario uses a progressive tax system where higher incomes are taxed at higher rates. The tax calculation involves:

  1. Determining your taxable income after deductions
  2. Applying Ontario's provincial tax rates to your taxable income
  3. Applying federal tax rates to your taxable income
  4. Summing the provincial and federal taxes to get your total tax liability
Ontario Tax = (Taxable Income × Provincial Rate) + (Taxable Income × Federal Rate)

The calculator automatically applies the correct tax rates based on your income level.
