Tax Calculation Formula

The Ontario pay stub tax calculator uses the following formula to determine your net pay:

Net Pay Formula

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

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.
