Worked Example

Let's calculate the net pay for someone earning $50,000 gross in the 2024 Ontario tax bracket.

  1. Gross Pay: $50,000
  2. Income Tax: $10,500 (21% of taxable income)

  4. EI: $650 (1.66% of insurable earnings)
  5. Other Deductions: $1,500 (union dues, etc.)

Net Pay = $50,000 - ($10,500 + $2,250 + $650 + $1,500) = $35,150
