Ontario Tax = Progressive tax calculation based on brackets CPP = 5.95% of earnings (max $70,400) EI = 1.66% of earnings (max $61,900) Total Deductions = Ontario Tax + CPP + EI Take-Home Pay = Gross Income - Total Deductions

Worked Example

Let's calculate the deductions for a single person with $60,000 gross income:

Deduction Type	Calculation	Amount
Ontario Tax	$60,000 × 5.05% (first bracket)	$3,030
CPP	$60,000 × 5.95%	$3,570
EI	$60,000 × 1.66%	$1,000
Total Deductions	$3,030 + $3,570 + $1,000	$7,600
Take-Home Pay	$60,000 - $7,600	$52,400

For this example, the single person would pay $7,600 in total deductions and receive $52,400 in take-home pay.
