Tax Owed = (Taxable Income × Tax Rate) - Credits
The tax rate and deductions are based on your filing status and the number of dependents you have. The calculator uses the most recent Ontario tax rates and standard deductions.
Worked Example
Let's walk through an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you have the following details:
- Total Income: $60,000
- Filing Status: Single
- Number of Dependents: 2
Using the calculator, you would enter these values and click "Calculate". The calculator would then perform the following calculations:
- Calculate the standard deduction based on your filing status and dependents.
- Subtract the deduction from your total income to get the taxable income.
- Apply the Ontario tax rates to the taxable income to calculate the tax owed.
- Subtract any applicable credits to get the final tax liability.
For this example, the calculator would estimate your tax liability to be approximately $8,500. The detailed breakdown would show how much tax is owed at each tax bracket.
