Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

Calculate your take-home pay in Ontario with our hourly wage calculator. This tool accounts for federal and provincial taxes, Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Employment Insurance (EI), and optional RRSP contributions. Get an accurate estimate of your net pay before taxes and deductions.

How the Calculator Works

The hourly take-home pay calculator for Ontario uses the following formula to determine your net pay:

Net Pay = (Hourly Rate × Hours Worked) - (Federal Tax + Provincial Tax + CPP + EI + RRSP)

Here's a breakdown of the deductions:

  • Federal Tax: Calculated based on your taxable income and federal tax brackets.
  • Provincial Tax (Ontario): Calculated based on your taxable income and Ontario's tax brackets.
  • Canada Pension Plan (CPP): 5.1% of your earnings, up to the maximum contribution limit.
  • Employment Insurance (EI): 1.66% of your earnings, up to the maximum contribution limit.
  • RRSP (Optional): If you contribute to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan, this amount is deducted from your pay.

Note: This calculator provides an estimate. Actual take-home pay may vary based on your specific situation and changes in tax laws.

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the take-home pay for someone earning $25/hour, working 40 hours per week, with no RRSP contributions.

Gross Pay = $25/hour × 40 hours = $1,000

Federal Tax = $1,000 × 15% = $150

Provincial Tax (Ontario) = $1,000 × 12% = $120

CPP = $1,000 × 5.1% = $51

EI = $1,000 × 1.66% = $16.60

Total Deductions = $150 + $120 + $51 + $16.60 = $337.60

Net Pay = $1,000 - $337.60 = $662.40

In this example, the estimated take-home pay is $662.40 after all deductions.
