Net Pay Formula

The net pay formula for Ontario is:

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

Provincial Tax = Gross Pay × Provincial Tax Rate
CPP = Gross Pay × 0.0595
EI = Gross Pay × 0.0166

The provincial tax rate varies based on your taxable income. For example, in 2023, the Ontario tax brackets range from 5.05% to 13.16%.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the net pay for someone earning $2,500 gross pay in Ontario:

Example Calculation

1. Determine provincial tax (assuming 5.05% rate):

$2,500 × 0.0505 = $126.25

2. Calculate CPP:

$2,500 × 0.0595 = $148.75

3. Calculate EI:

$2,500 × 0.0166 = $41.50

4. Total deductions:

$126.25 + $148.75 + $41.50 = $316.50

5. Net pay:

$2,500 - $316.50 = $2,183.50

This example shows that after taxes and deductions, the employee takes home approximately $2,183.50 from their $2,500 gross pay.
