Tax Calculation Formula
The bi weekly tax calculator ontario uses the following formula to calculate deductions:
Federal Tax = Gross Pay × Federal Tax Rate
Provincial Tax = Gross Pay × Provincial Tax Rate
CPP = Gross Pay × CPP Rate
EI = Gross Pay × EI Rate
Total Deductions = Federal Tax + Provincial Tax + CPP + EI
Net Pay = Gross Pay - Total Deductions
The current tax rates for Ontario are:
- Federal Tax Rate: 15% (for single filers)
- Provincial Tax Rate: 5.05% (for Ontario residents)
- CPP Rate: 5.1% (employee portion)
- EI Rate: 1.66% (employee portion)
For married filers, the federal tax rate may be higher depending on your tax bracket.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the bi-weekly taxes for an employee earning $2,500 gross pay as a single filer.
| Deduction Type | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Federal Tax | $2,500 × 15% | $375.00 |
| Provincial Tax | $2,500 × 5.05% | $126.25 |
| CPP | $2,500 × 5.1% | $127.50 |
| EI | $2,500 × 1.66% | $41.50 |
| Total Deductions | $375 + $126.25 + $127.50 + $41.50 | $670.25 |
| Net Pay | $2,500 - $670.25 | $1,829.75 |
For this example, the employee would have $670.25 in total deductions and receive $1,829.75 in net pay.
