Tax Return = Taxable Income - (Federal Tax + Provincial Tax + CPP + EI)

Worked Example

Let's calculate a tax return for a single filer with $50,000 in taxable income:

  1. Federal tax: $8,420 (using 2023 federal tax brackets)
  2. Ontario provincial tax: $4,500 (using 2023 Ontario tax brackets)
  3. CPP: $2,450
  4. EI: $250

Total taxes and deductions: $8,420 + $4,500 + $2,450 + $250 = $15,620

Tax return: $50,000 - $15,620 = $34,380
