Worked Example
Let's calculate take-home pay for someone earning $25/hour working 35 hours per week:
Gross earnings = $25 × 35 = $875
Federal tax = $875 × 15% = $131.25
Provincial tax = $875 × 5.05% = $44.06
CPP = $875 × 5.1% = $44.63
EI = $875 × 1.66% = $14.56
Take-home pay = $875 - $131.25 - $44.06 - $44.63 - $14.56 = $640.50
After taxes and deductions, this worker would receive approximately $640.50 per week.
