How to read the combined brackets
Canada taxes income progressively at two levels — federal and Ontario provincial. Each band below shows the federal rate, the provincial rate, and the combined marginal rate that applies to income in that range. Only the dollars inside a band are taxed at that band’s rate, so crossing into a higher band never raises the tax on your earlier income.
Why this matters for retirement
When you take money from a RRIF, LIF, or RRSP, it’s taxed at your marginal rate. Knowing where the next threshold sits helps you decide how much to withdraw in a given year — our next-bracket calculator works this out for your exact income.
Frequently asked questions
What is the top marginal tax rate in Ontario for 2025?
In Ontario, the highest combined federal and provincial marginal rate for 2025 is about 46.16%, which applies to income in the top bracket. Lower income is taxed at lower rates — the marginal rate only applies to the dollars within each band.
What's the difference between marginal and average tax rate?
Your marginal rate is the tax on your next dollar of income — the rate of the bracket you're currently in. Your average rate is total tax divided by total income, and it's always lower because the lower brackets tax your earlier dollars at lower rates. For deciding whether to take an extra dollar of RRIF income, the marginal rate is what matters.
How do federal and Ontario brackets combine?
Your combined marginal rate is the federal rate plus the Ontario provincial rate that applies at your income level. Because federal and provincial bracket thresholds don't line up, your combined rate steps up at each threshold you cross — which is why the table shows more bands than either level has on its own.
What is the Ontario basic personal amount?
For 2025, the Ontario basic personal amount is $12,747, and the federal basic personal amount is $16,129. Both let you earn that much before paying tax at each level, applied as a credit at the lowest rate.
