Ontario income tax rates for 2026
CRA’s 2026 Ontario payroll guide lists provincial marginal rates of 5.05% up to $53,891, 9.15% to $107,785, 11.16% to $150,000, 12.16% to $220,000 and 13.16% above $220,000. Marginal rates apply only to the income within each band.
Ontario Health Premium
Ontario also has an income-based Health Premium. For 2026 it starts above $20,000 of taxable income and can reach a maximum of $900. AffordBase shows this separately so you can see how it affects the planning estimate.
Federal tax, CPP and EI also affect take-home pay
An Ontario paycheck is not based on provincial tax alone. Federal income tax, Canada Pension Plan contributions and Employment Insurance premiums also reduce gross employment income. Your real payroll can differ because personal credits and deductions matter.
Gross salary − modeled federal tax − modeled Ontario tax − CPP − EI − Ontario Health Premium = estimated take-home pay
