How the Calculator Works

The Ontario Hourly Payroll Calculator computes your net pay after deducting federal and provincial taxes, Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Employment Insurance (EI), and other mandatory deductions. The calculation follows Ontario's current tax rates and deduction rules.

Note

This calculator provides an estimate. For exact payroll calculations, consult a payroll professional or use official government payroll software.

Key Components

The calculation includes:

  • Gross pay (hourly rate × hours worked)
  • Federal income tax
  • Ontario provincial tax
  • Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions
  • Employment Insurance (EI) premiums
  • Other deductions (if applicable)

Assumptions

The calculator uses these assumptions:

  • Standard Ontario tax rates for 2023
  • No additional deductions beyond standard payroll taxes
  • No overtime or special pay adjustments

Formula Used

Net Pay Calculation

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

Where:

  • Gross Pay = Hourly Rate × Hours Worked
  • Federal Tax = Gross Pay × Federal Tax Rate
  • Provincial Tax = Gross Pay × Provincial Tax Rate
  • CPP = Gross Pay × CPP Rate
  • EI = Gross Pay × EI Rate

Tax Rates (2023)

Tax Type Rate
Federal Income Tax 15%
Ontario Provincial Tax 9.15%
CPP (Employee) 4.95%
EI (Employee) 1.66%

Worked Example

Let's calculate net pay for an employee earning $25/hour working 40 hours in a week.

Example Calculation

Gross Pay = $25 × 40 = $1,000

Federal Tax = $1,000 × 15% = $150

Provincial Tax = $1,000 × 9.15% = $91.50

CPP = $1,000 × 4.95% = $49.50

EI = $1,000 × 1.66% = $16.60

Total Deductions = $150 + $91.50 + $49.50 + $16.60 = $307.60

Net Pay = $1,000 - $307.60 = $692.40

In this example, the employee's net pay after all deductions is $692.40.
