How the Ontario Paycheck Calculator Works
The Ontario paycheck calculator estimates your net pay by applying Ontario's progressive income tax rates to your gross income. It accounts for federal and provincial tax deductions, Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions, and Employment Insurance (EI) premiums.

- Ontario income tax: Calculated based on your taxable income
- Canada Pension Plan (CPP): 5.1% of your earnings (up to the maximum contribution base)
