Ontario tax brackets 2026
Rates are marginal — each one applies only to the slice of taxable income inside its own band. The 2025 column shows what each band applied to last year.
| 2026 taxable income | Rate | 2025 band |
|---|---|---|
| $0 to $53,891 | 5.05% | $0 to $52,886 @ 5.05% |
| $53,891 to $107,785 | 9.15% | $52,886 to $105,775 @ 9.15% |
| $107,785 to $150,000 | 11.16% | $105,775 to $150,000 @ 11.16% |
| $150,000 to $220,000 | 12.16% | $150,000 to $220,000 @ 12.16% |
| over $220,000 | 13.16% | over $220,000 @ 13.16% |
Basic personal amount $12,989 for 2026, credited at 5.05%. (2025: $12,747).
Plus a surtax on provincial tax owing: 20% above $5,818 and a further 36% above $7,446 — which is why the effective top rate here is higher than the headline 13.16%.
Plus an income-tested health premium, up to $900 a year, collected through the tax system but separate from the bracket rates above.
A basic tax reduction of up to $600 can eliminate provincial tax entirely at low incomes.

Frequently asked questions

Its Basic Personal Amount is $12,989, credited at 5.05%. These are provincial rates only — federal tax applies on top.
What is the top marginal tax rate in Ontario?
The headline top rate is 13.16%, starting at $220,000 of taxable income. But Ontario also levies a surtax on provincial tax owing — 20% above $5,818 of tax and a further 36% above $7,446 — so a taxpayer past both thresholds faces an effective top marginal rate around 20.5296%, not 13.16%.
How much provincial tax do you pay on $100,000 in Ontario?
Ontario provincial tax on a $100,000 taxable income is $6,378 for 2026 — an effective provincial rate of 7.1278%. Federal tax, CPP and EI are separate and come off on top of this.
Did the Ontario tax brackets change from 2025 to 2026?
Yes — Ontario's 2026 table differs from 2025: the Basic Personal Amount moved from $12,747 to $12,989.
What is the Ontario basic personal amount for 2026?
The Ontario Basic Personal Amount (BPA) for 2026 is $12,989 — the income you can earn before provincial tax applies. It works as a non-refundable credit: the amount is multiplied by 5.05% (Ontario's lowest bracket rate) and subtracted from tax owing, rather than being deducted from income directly.
Does Ontario have a health premium on top of income tax?
Yes. Ontario charges an income-tested Health Premium alongside income tax, rising in steps to a maximum of $900 a year at higher incomes. It's collected through the tax system but is separate from the bracket rates above — the provincial tax lines in this page's tables and worked example exclude it.
