Formula Used

The Wealthsimple Tax Calculator uses the following formula to estimate your Ontario taxes:

Taxable Income = Total Income - Deductions Provincial Taxes = Taxable Income × Provincial Tax Rate Federal Taxes = Taxable Income × Federal Tax Rate Total Taxes = Provincial Taxes + Federal Taxes Net Income = Total Income - Total Taxes

Note that this is an estimate and actual tax liability may vary based on specific circumstances and tax laws.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to illustrate how the calculator works. Suppose you have the following details:

  • Total Income: $50,000
  • Filing Status: Single
  • Deductions: $5,000

Using the formula:

Taxable Income = $50,000 - $5,000 = $45,000 Provincial Taxes = $45,000 × 0.1316 (Ontario tax rate) = $5,922 Federal Taxes = $45,000 × 0.15 (Federal tax rate) = $6,750 Total Taxes = $5,922 + $6,750 = $12,672 Net Income = $50,000 - $12,672 = $37,328

This example shows that your estimated tax liability is $12,672, leaving you with a net income of $37,328.
