How Ontario Income Tax Works
In Ontario, income tax is calculated using a progressive tax system. This means that different portions of your income are taxed at different rates. The government uses tax brackets to determine how much tax you owe.
There are two main types of income tax in Ontario:
- Federal income tax: Calculated by the federal government based on your total income.
- Provincial income tax: Calculated by the Ontario government based on your Ontario taxable income.
Additional deductions include:
- Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions
- Employment Insurance (EI) premiums
- Other deductions as allowed by tax laws
Note: This calculator uses the 2023 tax rates and brackets. For the most accurate results, consult with a tax professional or refer to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and Ontario government websites.

Worked Example
Let's calculate the estimated tax for a single person earning $60,000 per year.
Step 1: Calculate Federal Income Tax
Federal tax brackets:
- $0 - $53,359: 15% of $53,359 = $8,003.85
- $53,359 - $60,000: 20.5% of $6,641 = $1,362.89
Total federal tax: $8,003.85 + $1,362.89 = $9,366.74
Step 2: Calculate Ontario Provincial Tax
Ontario tax brackets:
- $0 - $49,231: 5.05% of $49,231 = $2,477.78
- $49,231 - $60,000: 9.15% of $10,769 = $982.27
Total provincial tax: $2,477.78 + $982.27 = $3,460.05
Step 3: Calculate CPP and EI Deductions
- CPP: 5.95% of $60,000 = $3,570.00
- EI: 1.66% of $60,000 = $996.00
Total deductions: $3,570.00 + $996.00 = $4,566.00
Step 4: Calculate Net Salary
Total tax: $9,366.74 (federal) + $3,460.05 (provincial) = $12,826.79
Net salary: $60,000 - $12,826.79 - $4,566.00 = $42,607.21
This example shows that a single person earning $60,000 per year would have approximately $42,607.21 remaining after taxes and deductions.
