You pay federal and provincial tax together. Quebec collects its own tax and gives residents a federal abatement, so its table works a little differently. For the detail, open your province page, for example Ontario or Manitoba, or see all provinces and territories.
What does marginal rate mean?
Your marginal rate is the rate on your next dollar of income. Your average rate is your total tax divided by your total income, and it is always lower. Moving into a higher bracket does not tax all your income at the higher rate, only the part above the line. The marginal tax rate calculator shows both for your province.
