Example Calculation

Let's calculate the net pay for a single person with a gross salary of $60,000.

  1. Federal tax: $60,000 × 20.5% = $12,300
  2. Ontario tax: $60,000 × 9.15% = $5,505
  3. CPP: $60,000 × 5.95% = $3,570
  4. EI: $60,000 × 1.66% = $996

Total deductions: $12,300 + $5,505 + $3,570 + $996 = $22,371

Net pay: $60,000 - $22,371 = $37,629

This example shows that someone earning $60,000 in Ontario would take home approximately $37,629 after taxes and deductions.
