Formula Used

The calculator uses these formulas for Ontario employment calculations:

Gross Pay = Hourly Wage × Hours Worked

Income Tax = Gross Pay × Ontario tax rate (varies by income level)

Employment Insurance = Gross Pay × 1.6% (for full-time employees)

Net Pay = Gross Pay - Income Tax - Employment Insurance

For part-time employees, the Employment Insurance rate may be different. The calculator automatically adjusts these calculations based on your inputs.

Worked Example

Let's calculate pay for a full-time employee earning $25/hour working 40 hours per week:

Gross Pay = $25 × 40 = $1,000
Income Tax = $1,000 × 20.05% (Ontario tax rate for this income level) = $200.50
Employment Insurance = $1,000 × 1.6% = $16
Net Pay = $1,000 - $200.50 - $16 = $783.50

Using the calculator with these inputs would show these results.
