ASSUMPTIONS — 2026 tax year. The federal charitable credit is 15% on the first $200 of donations and 29% above (33% only to the extent of income taxed at 33%, not modelled). The provincial portion is approximated using Ontario's lowest bracket rate on the first $200 and its highest rate on the remainder. Assumes you have enough tax payable to use the full non-refundable credit. Some credits are approximate — consult a tax professional.
