Formula Used

The Ontario tax return calculation follows these steps:

1. Calculate Federal Tax

Federal tax is calculated using progressive tax brackets for the year 2019.

2. Calculate Provincial Tax

Ontario provincial tax is calculated using its own progressive tax brackets for 2019.

3. Apply Deductions

Deductions reduce your taxable income before calculating federal and provincial taxes.

4. Apply Credits

Tax credits directly reduce the amount of tax you owe after calculating federal and provincial taxes.

5. Calculate Net Tax

Net tax is calculated as: (Federal Tax + Provincial Tax) - Deductions - Credits.

The final result shows whether you owe additional tax or receive a refund.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a tax return for a single filer with $50,000 taxable income, $5,000 in deductions, and $2,000 in tax credits.

Step	Calculation	Result
1. Federal Tax	$50,000 × 20.5% (first bracket)	$10,250
2. Provincial Tax	$50,000 × 5.05% (Ontario rate)	$2,525
3. Total Tax Before Adjustments	$10,250 + $2,525	$12,775
4. Apply Deductions	$12,775 - $5,000	$7,775
5. Apply Credits	$7,775 - $2,000	$5,775

In this example, the filer would owe $5,775 in taxes after adjustments.
