To calculate the total income tax, a user will enter the taxable income, the tax-exempted federal amount, the provincial basic amount, and the federal and provincial or territorial income tax brackets information. The user will enter federal and provincial income tax brackets and rates based on the year by looking at the Canada Revenue Agency website. The tax brackets will differ from one province or territory to another. For example, if the tax bracket is 0 to $45,916 at 15%, enter $45,916 in the bracket field. If the tax bracket is $45,916 to $91,831 at 20.50%, then enter the difference between $45,916-$91,831 equals $45915 at 20.50%. For the last bracket, do remember to enter the total taxable income. For example, if the last bracket is 33% above $202,000, enter the taxable income under 33%; otherwise, the calculator will not give an accurate result.
The "NO REFUND - BALANCE DUE" or "POSSIBLE TAX REFUND" will be displayed based on the taxable income, basic amounts, tax brackets, and rates. For example, enter "$90,000" under "INCOME TAX PAID" to see the change from "NO REFUND - BALANCE DUE" to "POSSIBLE TAX REFUND."
The "TAX NOT PAID" displays the remaining tax to be paid, and the "POSSIBLE TAX REFUND" will change based on the "INCOME TAX PAID." Usually, this tax is paid by an employer or business. A positive value of "TAX NOT PAID" indicates the remaining tax to be paid, and a negative value shows you overpaid the taxes you will get a refund.
The "DONATION TAX REFUND" is calculated based on the "FED DONATION BRACKET" and "PRV (PROVINCIAL) DONT (DONATION) BRACKET."
The "RRSP TAX REFUND" is calculated based on the amount "INVESTED IN RRSP."
