How Biweekly Net Pay is Calculated

Your biweekly net pay is calculated by subtracting various deductions from your gross pay. These deductions include:

  • Income tax
  • Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions
  • Employment Insurance (EI) premiums
  • Provincial health premiums (if applicable)
  • Union or professional dues (if applicable)
Net Pay = Gross Pay - (Income Tax + CPP + EI + Other Deductions)

The exact amounts deducted depend on your tax filing status and the current tax rates in Ontario. The calculator uses the most recent tax tables published by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Example Calculation

Let's say you earn $2,500 gross per biweekly pay period and you are single. Here's how the calculation would work:

Gross Pay: $2,500

Income Tax: $350

CPP: $125

EI: $75

Total Deductions: $550

Net Pay: $1,950

This example shows that after taxes and deductions, you would take home $1,950 from your $2,500 biweekly pay.
