Worked Example
Let's calculate the after-tax pay for a single person earning $50,000 per year:
- Federal tax: $8,400 (15% of first $49,020 + 20.5% of remaining $980)
- Ontario tax: $5,200 (5.05% of first $45,142 + 9.15% of remaining $4,858)
- CPP: $2,975 (5.95% of $50,000)
- EI: $833 (1.66% of $50,000)
- Total deductions: $17,308
- Net pay: $50,000 - $17,308 = $32,692
