Formula Used

The net pay after deductions is calculated using the following formula:

For fixed amount deductions:

Net Pay = Gross Pay - Deduction Amount

This formula accounts for both percentage-based and fixed-amount deductions commonly applied to paychecks in Ontario.

Worked Example

Let's say you earn $2,000 gross pay and have a 15% income tax deduction:

Calculation:

Deduction Amount = $2,000 × (15 / 100) = $300

Net Pay = $2,000 - $300 = $1,700

Your net pay after a 15% income tax deduction would be $1,700.
