How Gross Pay is Calculated in Ontario

In Ontario, gross pay is calculated by multiplying your hourly wage by the number of hours worked, plus any overtime pay. The Ontario government sets minimum wage rates that apply to most workers.

Formula

Gross Pay = (Hourly Wage × Regular Hours) + (Overtime Wage × Overtime Hours)

Overtime Wage = Hourly Wage × 1.5 (for hours worked over 44 in a week)

Ontario's minimum wage is currently $15.20 per hour for most workers. The provincial government reviews and adjusts the minimum wage annually based on economic conditions.

Example Calculation

If you work 40 regular hours at $15.20/hour and 5 overtime hours:

  • Regular pay: 40 × $15.20 = $608.00
  • Overtime pay: 5 × ($15.20 × 1.5) = 5 × $22.80 = $114.00
  • Total gross pay: $608.00 + $114.00 = $722.00
