Jeff,
Current standing,
1) I have the calculator to the point where by making one entry it calculates the federal tax, and Ontario Tax, CPP rates and EI Rates. What I realize though is that it does not factor in any credits such as the personal exemption, equivalent to spouse amount etc or any of those scenarios that could be entered in a T1 form. Other deductions could include pensions, RSP's, union dues, medical expenses etc. To determine ones true income tax obligation, these deductions should be factored in.
2) For child support entry, I looked at the new child support Ontario tables. I have yet to figure out the formula used to calculate the payable obligation. so many variables, number of children, ceiling and floor of income and they offer a bracket float and another variable percent depending where ones income falls in the bracket. To complicate further, Some people may be still on the old tables or an agreed amount. To make it simpled, I think it would be best to allow the user to input the amount they actually pay. Any suggestion?
3) I think what they mean by the term NOTIONAL child support is a presumed amount of child support a custody parent would spend on their child.
