Formula Used

The calculation follows these steps:

Net Bonus = Gross Bonus - Federal Tax - Provincial Tax - CPP - EI

Where:

Federal Tax = Gross Bonus × Federal Tax Rate
Provincial Tax = Gross Bonus × Provincial Tax Rate
CPP = Gross Bonus × 5.95%
EI = Gross Bonus × 1.66%

The tax rates used are based on the 2023 tax tables for Ontario residents.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the net bonus for a $5,000 gross bonus:

Federal Tax = $5,000 × 20.5% = $1,025
Provincial Tax = $5,000 × 13.16% = $658
CPP = $5,000 × 5.95% = $297.50
EI = $5,000 × 1.66% = $83
Net Bonus = $5,000 - $1,025 - $658 - $297.50 - $83 = $2,936.50

For a $5,000 bonus, your estimated net take-home pay would be $2,936.50 after taxes and deductions.
