Formula Used

The nanny calculator uses the following formulas to calculate the pay and taxes:

Gross Pay = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year Ontario Income Tax = Gross Pay × Ontario Income Tax Rate CPP Contribution = Gross Pay × CPP Rate EI Premiums = Gross Pay × EI Rate Net Pay = Gross Pay - Ontario Income Tax - CPP Contribution - EI Premiums

Where:

  • Ontario Income Tax Rate is approximately 5.05% for the 2023 tax year
  • CPP Rate is 5.95% for the 2023 tax year
  • EI Rate is 1.66% for the 2023 tax year

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you have a nanny who charges $20 per hour, works 40 hours per week, and works 50 weeks per year.

Gross Pay = $20 × 40 × 50 = $40,000 Ontario Income Tax = $40,000 × 5.05% = $2,020 CPP Contribution = $40,000 × 5.95% = $2,380 EI Premiums = $40,000 × 1.66% = $664 Net Pay = $40,000 - $2,020 - $2,380 - $664 = $34,936

In this example, the nanny's net pay after taxes and deductions is $34,936.
