Net Pay Formula

Income Tax Calculation
Income tax is calculated based on your filing status and tax brackets. The calculator uses Ontario's progressive tax rates:
| Filing Status | Tax Brackets |
|---|---|
| Single | 10.05% on first $48,535, 13.16% on next $48,535, 24.28% on amount over $97,070 |
| Married | 10.05% on first $97,069, 13.16% on next $97,069, 24.28% on amount over $194,138 |
CPP and EI Deductions
The calculator applies standard CPP and EI rates:
- CPP: 5.95% of earnings up to $63,400
- EI: 1.66% of earnings up to $57,400
Worked Example
Let's calculate the net pay for a single individual with a gross pay of $3,000.
Step 1: Calculate Income Tax
For a single filer with $3,000 gross pay:
- First $48,535 at 10.05%: $3,000 × 10.05% = $301.50
- Total Income Tax: $301.50
Step 2: Calculate CPP
CPP is 5.95% of gross pay:
- $3,000 × 5.95% = $178.50
Step 3: Calculate EI
EI is 1.66% of gross pay:
- $3,000 × 1.66% = $50.00
Step 4: Calculate Net Pay
Net Pay = $3,000 - ($301.50 + $178.50 + $50.00) = $2,470.00
Result
For a gross pay of $3,000, the estimated net pay after taxes, CPP, and EI is $2,470.
