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.

| CPP | $2,450 |
