Net Income Formula

Net Income = Gross Income - (Federal Tax + Provincial Tax + CPP + EI + RRSP Contribution + Other Deductions)

Where:

  • Federal Tax is calculated using Ontario's 2021 federal tax brackets
  • Provincial Tax is calculated using Ontario's 2021 provincial tax rates
  • CPP (Canada Pension Plan) is 5.95% of earnings up to $57,400
  • EI (Employment Insurance) is 1.66% of earnings up to $53,300
  • RRSP Contribution is optional and reduces taxable income

Worked Example

Let's calculate the net income for a single person with a gross income of $60,000 in 2021:

  1. Federal Tax: $11,442.00
  2. Provincial Tax: $4,800.00
  3. CPP: $3,501.00
  4. EI: $999.00
  5. Total Deductions: $20,742.00
  6. Net Income: $60,000 - $20,742 = $39,258.00

This example shows that after all deductions, the person takes home approximately $39,258 from their $60,000 salary.
