Payroll deductions typically include:

  • Income Tax: Federal and provincial income tax withheld from each paycheck.
  • Canada Pension Plan (CPP): Contributions to the CPP, a retirement savings plan.

Example Calculation

Let's calculate deductions for a gross pay of $3,000 in 2025.

Gross Pay = $3,000 Federal Income Tax Rate = 20.5% CPP Rate = 5.1% EI Rate = 1.63% Income Tax = $3,000 × 0.205 = $615 CPP = $3,000 × 0.051 = $153 EI = $3,000 × 0.0163 = $49 Total Deductions = $615 + $153 + $49 = $817 Net Pay = $3,000 - $817 = $2,183

In this example, the total deductions amount to $817, leaving a net pay of $2,183.
