Formula Used

The Ontario Canada Payroll Calculator uses the following formulas to calculate payroll taxes and net pay:

Income Tax Calculation

Ontario Income Tax is calculated using progressive tax brackets. The formula is:

Income Tax = Sum of (Taxable Income × Tax Rate for each bracket)

CPP Calculation

CPP = Gross Pay × CPP Rate (5.95% for employees, 9.9% for employers)

EI Calculation

EI = Gross Pay × EI Rate (1.66% for employees, 2.7% for employers)

Net Pay Calculation

Net Pay is calculated as:

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

Worked Example

Let's calculate the payroll for an employee with a gross pay of $2,500 for a monthly pay period.

Gross Pay: $2,500
Income Tax: $425 (based on Ontario tax brackets)
CPP: $148.75 (5.95% of $2,500)
EI: $41.50 (1.66% of $2,500)
Total Deductions: $425 + $148.75 + $41.50 = $615.25
Net Pay: $2,500 - $615.25 = $1,884.75

This example shows that after all deductions, the employee takes home $1,884.75.
