Let's calculate the payroll cost for an employee with a gross salary of $50,000 in Ontario.

  1. Gross Salary: $50,000
  2. Tax Bracket: $44,702 - $89,404 (Tax Rate: 9.15%)
  3. Income Tax: $50,000 × 9.15% = $4,575
  4. CPP: $50,000 × 5.1% = $2,550
  5. EI: $50,000 × 1.6% = $800
  6. 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.
