Formula Used
The Ontario Pay Stub Calculator uses the following formula to calculate your net pay:
Net Pay = Gross Pay - Deductions - (Gross Pay × Tax Rate)
Where:
- Gross Pay is your total earnings before deductions and taxes.
- Deductions are any amounts subtracted from your gross pay (e.g., retirement contributions, health insurance).
- Tax Rate is the percentage of your gross pay that is withheld for taxes.
Ontario tax rates vary based on your income level. The calculator uses standard provincial tax rates for 2023.
Worked Example
Let's calculate a pay stub for someone earning $2,500 gross per month with $300 in deductions and a 20% tax rate.
- Gross Pay: $2,500
- Deductions: $300
- Tax Rate: 20%
Using the formula:
Net Pay = $2,500 - $300 - ($2,500 × 0.20)
Net Pay = $2,500 - $300 - $500
Net Pay = $1,700
So, the net pay for this example is $1,700.
