Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formulas to calculate your Ontario payroll with overtime:

Gross Pay Calculation

Gross Pay = Hourly Wage × Hours Worked

Deductions Calculation

Income Tax = Gross Pay × Ontario Income Tax Rate

CPP = Gross Pay × 0.0525 (5.25%)

EI = Gross Pay × 0.0166 (1.66%)

Total Deductions = Income Tax + CPP + EI

Net Pay Calculation

Net Pay = Gross Pay - Total Deductions

Note: The income tax rate is based on Ontario's progressive tax brackets. For simplified calculations, the calculator uses an average rate of 20% for regular pay and 25% for overtime pay.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the payroll for an employee who works 40 regular hours and 10 overtime hours at $25/hour.

Component Calculation Amount
Regular Hours 40 × $25 $1,000.00
Overtime Hours 10 × $25 × 1.5 $375.00
Gross Pay $1,000 + $375 $1,375.00
Income Tax (20%) $1,375 × 0.20 $275.00
CPP (5.25%) $1,375 × 0.0525 $72.19
EI (1.66%) $1,375 × 0.0166 $22.88
Total Deductions $275 + $72.19 + $22.88 $369.07
Net Pay $1,375 - $369.07 $1,005.93

In this example, the employee earns $1,005.93 after deductions for working 40 regular hours and 10 overtime hours at $25/hour.
