Taxable income                            \$107,000

First, we calculate the federal tax. We allot the taxable income to the various tax bands shown in Table 12-1. The first \$45,282 is taxed at the lowest rate, 15\%. This leaves us with \$61,718 to allocate to the higher bands. The next \$45,282 of income falls into the band between \$45,282 and \$90,563, taxed at 20.5\%. The final \$16,437 of income falls into the 26\% band, so our marginal tax rate at the federal level is 26\%. We calculate the amount of tax owed on each fraction of income and sum the results to get \$20,348.52.

Next, we subtract the federal personal exemption shown in Table 12 2. The table tells us that we needn’t pay tax on the first \$11,474. This \$11,474 would have been taxed at the lowest rate, 15\%, so we multiply it by 15\% and subtract it from total taxes owed. We then go through a similar calculation at the provincial level.

2016 Federal Individual Rate                                                                             Tax per Level
On the first \$45,282.00 15\% \$6,792,03
from \$45,282.00 to \$90,563.00 20.50\% \$9,282.60
from \$90,563.00 to \$107,000.00 26\% \$4,723.62
\frac{}{\$20,348.52}
Less non-refundable tax credit \$11,474 15\% \$1,721.10
Basic federal tax = \$18,627.42
2016 Manitoba Provincial Tax
On the first \$31,000.00 10.80\% \$3,348.00
from \$31,000.00 \$67,000 12.80\% \$4,608.00
above \$67,000.00 17.40\% \$6,960.00
\frac{}{\$14,916.00}
Less non-refundable tax credit \$9,134.00 10.80\% \$986.47.47
Total federal & provincial taxes payable = \$32,556.95
Average Tax Rate = Total Federal & Provincial Taxes Payable/Taxable Income = 30.40\%
Marginal Tax Rate = Tax Payable on Next Dollar
= 26\% + 17.4\% = 43.4\%
After-tax income = \$74,443.05
