How to Use This Calculator

To calculate your Ontario public pay:

The calculator will display your net income after all applicable deductions, including income tax, CPP, and EI premiums.

Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to determine net income:

Net Income = Gross Pay - (Income Tax + CPP + EI)

Where:

Income Tax is calculated based on your tax bracket and gross pay
CPP (Canada Pension Plan) is 5.95% of your gross pay
EI (Employment Insurance) is 1.66% of your gross pay

For Ontario residents, the provincial tax rate is applied to the portion of income above the federal taxable amount.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the net income for someone earning $50,000 gross pay in the Ontario tax bracket.

Gross Pay: $50,000
Federal Tax: $10,000 (20% of $50,000)
Provincial Tax (Ontario): $5,000 (12% of $40,000, the amount over $10,000)
CPP: $2,975 (5.95% of $50,000)
EI: $832.50 (1.66% of $50,000)
Total Deductions: $10,000 + $5,000 + $2,975 + $832.50 = $18,807.50
Net Income: $50,000 - $18,807.50 = $31,192.50

This example shows that after all deductions, the net income would be $31,192.50.

Understanding Deductions

Several deductions are applied to your gross pay to determine your net income:

Income Tax: Federal and provincial taxes are applied based on your tax bracket.
CPP: Canada Pension Plan contribution at 5.95% of your gross pay.
