Ontario tax brackets for 2026: federal and provincial rates explained

Ontario residents pay both federal and provincial income tax. Each rate applies only to the portion of taxable income that falls inside its bracket—not your entire income.

Marginal is not average

Moving into a higher bracket does not cause all of your income to be taxed at the higher rate. Only the income inside that bracket is subject to that bracket's rate. Credits, CPP, EI, Ontario surtax and the Ontario Health Premium also affect the final result.

Why your paycheque can differ

Payroll deductions depend on pay frequency, TD1 claims, benefits, pensions, bonuses and employer payroll calculations. That is why MoneyPilot treats its annual calculation as a planning estimate.
