Calculation Method

The after-tax income is calculated by subtracting income tax, CPP contributions, and EI premiums from your gross income. Here's the formula used:

After-Tax Income = Gross Income - Income Tax - CPP - EI

The calculator uses Ontario's 2018 tax rates and the following contribution rates:

  • CPP: 5.95% of earnings up to $57,400
  • EI: 1.66% of earnings up to $53,100

Note: This calculator provides an estimate. Actual tax liability may vary based on your specific situation and deductions.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the after-tax income for someone earning $60,000 in 2018.

  1. Calculate income tax:
    • $44,708 × 5.05% = $2,263.89
    • ($60,000 - $44,708) × 9.15% = $12,331.13
    • Total income tax = $2,263.89 + $12,331.13 = $14,595.02
  2. Calculate CPP:
    • $60,000 × 5.95% = $3,570.00
  3. Calculate EI:
    • $60,000 × 1.66% = $996.00
  4. Calculate after-tax income:
    • $60,000 - $14,595.02 - $3,570.00 - $996.00 = $40,838.98

So, someone earning $60,000 would take home approximately $40,839 after taxes, CPP, and EI in 2018.
