Notes

  • Rates are marginal — they apply only to each additional dollar of income in that bracket, not to all income.
  • The table uses table mode, which excludes low-income reductions, Ontario surtax, and the Ontario Health Premium for clean cross-province comparison.
  • Eligible dividends are grossed up 38 % before tax, then receive the federal and provincial dividend tax credits.
  • Capital gains are taxed on 50 % of the gain (50 % inclusion rate, confirmed as of March 21 2025).
