How Net Pay is Calculated

Net pay is calculated by subtracting deductions from your gross pay. Key deductions include:

Income tax
CPP (Canada Pension Plan) contributions
EI (Employment Insurance) premiums
Union dues (if applicable)
Other deductions (e.g., health benefits)

Formula:

Net Pay = Gross Pay - (Income Tax + CPP + EI + Other Deductions)

Ontario's 2016 tax rates were progressive, meaning higher income brackets paid higher tax rates. CPP and EI rates were also fixed for 2016.
