Example Calculation
Let's calculate net pay for someone earning $2,000 gross per bi-weekly paycheck:
- Gross Income: $2,000
- Federal Tax: $200 (10% of $2,000)
- Provincial Tax: $100 (5% of $2,000)
- CPP: $100 (5% of $2,000)
- EI: $40 (2% of $2,000)
- Net Pay: $2,000 - ($200 + $100 + $100 + $40) = $1,560
This example shows that after taxes and deductions, the employee would take home approximately $1,560 per paycheck.
