Formula Used

The 2023 Ontario Payroll Calculator uses the following formula to calculate deductions and net pay:

Net Pay = Gross Pay - (CPP + EI + Federal Tax + Ontario Tax)

Where:

CPP (Canada Pension Plan) = Gross Pay × 0.0525 (5.25%)
EI (Employment Insurance) = Gross Pay × 0.0162 (1.62%)
Federal Tax = Calculated based on tax brackets for 2023
Ontario Tax = Calculated based on Ontario tax brackets for 2023

The calculator uses the 2023 tax brackets and rates provided by the Canada Revenue Agency and the Ontario Ministry of Finance.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the payroll for an employee with a gross pay of $2,500 per month.

Gross Pay: $2,500
CPP: $2,500 × 0.0525 = $131.25
EI: $2,500 × 0.0162 = $40.50
Federal Tax: $2,500 × 0.205 (for the first $49,057) = $513.75
Ontario Tax: $2,500 × 0.0505 = $126.25
Total Deductions: $131.25 + $40.50 + $513.75 + $126.25 = $811.75
Net Pay: $2,500 - $811.75 = $1,688.25

Using the calculator with these inputs would show the same results.
