Example Calculation
Let's say you earn $25/hour and work 40 hours per week. Here's how the calculation works:
Example Calculation
Gross annual income = $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000
Federal tax = $52,000 × 15% = $7,800
Ontario tax = $52,000 × 5.05% = $2,626
CPP = $52,000 × 5.95% = $3,106
EI = $52,000 × 1.66% = $866
Total deductions = $7,800 + $2,626 + $3,106 + $866 = $14,400
After-tax income = $52,000 - $14,400 = $37,600
After-tax hourly wage = $37,600 / (40 × 52) = $18.23/hour
This means you would take home approximately $18.23 per hour after taxes and deductions.
