Worked Example
Let's calculate the payroll cost for an employee with a gross salary of $50,000 in Ontario.
- Gross Salary: $50,000
- Tax Bracket: $44,702 - $89,404 (Tax Rate: 9.15%)
- Income Tax: $50,000 × 9.15% = $4,575
- CPP: $50,000 × 5.1% = $2,550
- EI: $50,000 × 1.6% = $800
- Total Payroll Cost: $50,000 + $4,575 + $2,550 + $800 = $57,925
Using the calculator, you would enter $50,000 as the gross salary and select the appropriate tax bracket. The calculator will then display the total payroll cost of $57,925.
