  • Ontario's rates run from 5.05% to 13.16%. On top of that, a surtax adds 20% of provincial tax above $5,818 and a further 36% above $7,446.
  • The Ontario Health Premium is charged through payroll on taxable income above $20,000, rising to $900 a year above $200,600.
  • Lower incomes get the Ontario tax reduction. It does not count dependants, since the calculator does not ask about them.
  • Under $50,000 of income, Ontario's Low-income Individuals and Families Tax Credit can return up to $875 when you file. Payroll does not apply it, so it is not included here.

Ontario's surtax and Health Premium

Ontario taxes income in 5 brackets from 5.05% to 13.16%. Those bracket rates understate what Ontario takes, because two extra charges sit on top of them.

The first is the Ontario surtax. It is charged on your provincial tax rather than your income: once basic Ontario tax passes a threshold, a further 20% of the excess is added, and a further 36% above a second threshold. It only reaches middle and higher incomes, but there it raises the top combined rate well above the bracket rate.

The second is the Ontario Health Premium, collected through payroll. It starts above $20,000 of taxable income and rises in steps to a maximum of $900 a year. On $75,000 it is $750, shown as its own line above.

Lower incomes get the Ontario tax reduction, which can wipe out Ontario income tax entirely, though not the Health Premium. Ontario's Low-income Individuals and Families Tax Credit is claimed when you file rather than through payroll, so it is not part of this estimate.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about take-home pay in Ontario

On a $75,000 salary in Ontario, you take home about $56,926 a year, or $2,189 every two weeks. That is an effective rate of about 24.1% after income tax and payroll deductions. Change the salary and pay frequency in the calculator to see your own figure.

A charge collected through payroll from everyone with taxable income above $20,000. It rises in steps with income to a maximum of $900 a year and is not reduced by the Ontario tax reduction. On a $75,000 salary it is $750 a year.

It is a tax on your Ontario tax, not on your income. Once basic Ontario tax passes the first threshold, 20% of the amount above it is added; past a second threshold, a further 36% is added on top. It is why Ontario's top combined marginal rate is higher than its top bracket rate suggests.

Yes, if you enter them. Workplace pension and group RRSP contributions and union dues are deducted before income tax, so each dollar costs you less than a dollar of take-home. They do not reduce CPP or EI, which are charged on your full earnings.

It uses the 2026 federal and provincial tax rates, basic personal amounts and CPP, QPP, EI and QPIP rates that employers use for payroll, so it lands close for a straightforward salaried situation, but your actual paycheque will differ. It does not include credits claimed only when you file, such as provincial low-income credits, the Canada Workers Benefit or credits for dependants, and it does not model other income, bonuses or employer benefits. It is an estimate rather than tax advice.
