Worked Example

Let's calculate the take-home pay for someone earning $60,000 in Ontario:

  1. Federal Tax: $12,000 (based on 2023 tax brackets)
  2. Provincial Tax: $8,000 (based on Ontario's 2023 tax brackets)
  3. CPP: $3,570 ($60,000 × 5.95%)
  4. EI: $1,000 ($60,000 × 1.66%)

Total deductions: $23,570

Take-home pay: $60,000 - $23,570 = $36,430
