Worked Example

Let's calculate the payroll for an employee earning $25 per hour, working 40 hours per week, with a tax filing status of "Single".

Component Calculation Amount
Gross Pay $25 × 40 $1,000.00
Federal Tax Based on tax brackets $150.00
Provincial Tax (Ontario) Based on tax brackets $200.00
CPP 5.1% of $1,000 $51.00
EI 1.66% of $1,000 $16.60
Net Pay $1,000 - ($150 + $200 + $51 + $16.60) $582.40

In this example, the employee's net pay after all deductions is $582.40.
