This calculator uses the 2015 Ontario tax rates and deductions. For current year calculations, use our updated paycheck calculator.
Key Components of Your Paycheck
Your paycheck is composed of several key components:
- Gross Pay: Your total earnings before any deductions
- Income Tax: Federal and provincial taxes on your income
- CPP (Canada Pension Plan): Contributions to your retirement savings
- EI (Employment Insurance): Insurance for unemployment
- Other Deductions: Union dues, health benefits, etc.
- Net Pay: Your take-home pay after all deductions
How Deductions Are Calculated
The calculator applies the following deductions in this order:
- Calculate income tax based on your tax bracket
- Calculate CPP contributions (5.95% of your earnings)
- Calculate EI premiums (1.66% of your earnings)
- Apply any other deductions you specify
- Subtract all deductions from your gross pay to get net pay
Formula Used in the Calculator
The calculator uses the following formula to determine your net pay:
Net Pay = Gross Pay - (Income Tax + CPP + EI + Other Deductions)
Where:
- Income Tax = Federal tax + Ontario provincial tax
- CPP = 5.95% of gross pay
- EI = 1.66% of gross pay
- Other Deductions = Any additional deductions you specify
The income tax calculation uses the 2015 Ontario tax brackets:
| Taxable Income | Federal Tax Rate | Ontario Tax Rate |
|---|---|---|
| $0 - $10,922 | 15% | 5.05% |
| $10,922 - $43,075 | 20.5% | 9.15% |
| $43,075 - $86,154 | 26% | 11.16% |
| $86,154 - $100,000 | 29% | 12.16% |
| Over $100,000 | 33% | 13.16% |
Example Calculation
Let's calculate a paycheck for someone earning $50,000 gross per year in 2015.
This example assumes no other deductions besides CPP and EI.
Step-by-Step Calculation
- Gross Pay: $50,000
- Income Tax:
- First $10,922 at 15%: $1,638.30
- Next $32,153 at 20.5%: $6,602.77
- Total Income Tax: $8,241.07
- CPP: 5.95% of $50,000 = $2,975.00
- EI: 1.66% of $50,000 = $830.00
- Total Deductions: $8,241.07 + $2,975.00 + $830.00 = $12,046.07
- Net Pay: $50,000 - $12,046.07 = $37,953.93
So, someone earning $50,000 gross in 2015 would take home approximately $37,954 after taxes and deductions.
