We'll be relocating in Toronto next month. If any one knows what is the income tax
rates in Canada and Ontario please let me know. Thanks, Saul

The Stolls

Doing a quick search on the net, I couldn't really find a table to give you a quick
answer. The Government of Canada has a rate, and Ontario gets their paws into your
income as well.

Good news though is that next year, the maximum taxable income scale has increased
from $60,000 per year, to $100,000 per year, for the provincial tax rate..

Try www.revenuecanada.com . You may find some useful information there.

Cheers Sandra

I'm still looking for an online estimator for Ontario but there is one for Alberta
that includes the federal component. Included is a benchmark for income tax on
$80,000 (local currency) in both Calgary and Chicago for a single person:

http://www.treas.gov.ab.ca/calc-script/tax_calc.html

CA: $13,629 AB: $5973 CPP & EI: $2374 (applied to first $39,000 wages)

http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor...n_tax/main.asp

US: $15,699 (above estimator is federal-only)
CB: $2250 FICA: $5737.50 (Social Security tax on first $80,400 wages)

Above $80,000 the rate in Ontario is higher due to various surtaxes. Ontario is #2 to
Alberta below $80,000 while BC is now #2 above $80,000.

Judy,

The link in your post is to the 2000 taxes - current taxes are much lower, both
federal and Provincial.

The link posted by Ken Milstead about an hour ago leads to the same calculator as
yours, but revised for current tax brackets after federal changes in force since Jan
2001 and with BC changes since July 2001. For those who missed the link it is here:

Do the taxes calculated at this link include unemployment insurance and health
insurance taxes/premiums? Are any additional taxes payable?

Thanks in advance.

No, those are separate premiums, as they are not taxes. There are no other taxes
payable on income, but you will have to pay Provincial and federal sales taxes on
most purchases (up to 15% in Ontario), property taxes, etc.

Thanks.

Are there any websites that calculate these premiums? If not, roughly how much do
they amount to as a percentage of income?

Thanks in advance.

CPP & EI are roughly 6.2% on the first C$39,000 wages. The employer pays a
matching amount.

In contrast, the FICA federal payroll tax in the US is
6.2% on the first $80,400 wages for Social Security and 1.45% on ALL wages for
Medicare for Seniors. The exclusion of payroll taxes is what exaggerates the tax
difference between the US and Canada, where the ten provinces are now lined up
against the dozen highest taxed states (see my Calgary-Chicago benchmark for a
single earner, $80,000).

Thank you very much for this information. Do the CPP/EI premiums include health
insurance costs or are they charged for separately? If the latter is the case,
approximately how much would health insurance cost for an Ontario resident(as a %
of income)?

Thanks in advance.

You may download a small program from Revenue Canada website to calculate exact
payroll deductions (tax, and CPP/EI premiums) for each Province.

http://www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca/tax/busin...tod0701-e.html

Health insurance premium is not included in payroll deductions, although some
employers may pay such premiums for you. Premiums for Provincial health coverage are
not based on the income. There is currently no charge for Provincial health coverage
(OHIP) in Ontario.

Well, zero - Ontario does not charge health insurance premiums. On the other hand,
Alberta and B.C. do (don't know about the other provinces).

there's a token premium to remind you that it's not really free.
