Marginal Tax Rate Calculator - Help |
|
| |
Assumptions |
| | This calculator is based on a single taxpayer. It does not take into account any personal amounts, such as the spousal amount, disability amount, or age amount. Such personal amounts will have no effect on the taxpayer's marginal tax rate, except that the tax-free zone is increased if the taxpayer is eligible for more credits.
Clawback zones for these credits and for CTB, EI or OAS are not included in the results. For more precise results in situations where these clawbacks are relevant, you may wish to use the Income Tax Estimator.

| | Marginal Tax Rate - a taxpayer's marginal tax rate is the amount of income tax paid on the next dollar earned, or conversely, the amount of income tax saved by claiming a deduction of $1.

Tax Year |
| | This calculator defaults to the current calendar year or, if tax rates are available, to the following calendar year. Remember that rates are subject to change until the end of the year.

Province of Residence |
| | Select the taxpayer's province of residence as of the end of the taxation year. This is used to determine provincial tax rates. Note that because Quebec determines taxable income differently from the other provinces, this calculator any variances in the taxable income for Quebec purposes are ignored.
