Calculator Details

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

Tax Calculation Formula

Taxable Income = Total Income - Deductions

Tax Owed = (Taxable Income × Tax Rate) - Tax Credits

Assumptions

Uses 2014 Ontario tax rates and brackets
Assumes no changes to tax laws during the year
Does not account for provincial or federal tax differences
Estimates only - not official tax return

Example Calculation

For a single filer with $50,000 taxable income, $5,000 in deductions, and $10,510 in tax credits:

Taxable Income = $50,000 - $5,000 = $45,000
Tax Owed = ($45,000 × 20.05%) - $10,510 = $9,022.50 - $10,510 = -$1,487.50
Result: Refund of $1,487.50
