How Ontario Income Tax Works
In Ontario, income tax is calculated using a progressive tax system. This means that different portions of your income are taxed at different rates. The government also withholds employment insurance and Canada Pension Plan contributions from your paycheck.
The basic formula for calculating your take-home pay is:
Take-Home Pay Formula
Take-Home Pay = Gross Income - (Federal Tax + Provincial Tax + EI + CPP + Other Deductions)
Ontario uses a flat rate for the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contribution of 5.1% of your earnings, up to the maximum contribution base. Employment Insurance (EI) is calculated based on your employment status.
