Worked Example

Let's calculate the net pay for a gross salary of $50,000 in 2018.

  1. Federal Tax: $50,000 falls into the $47,630 - $95,259 bracket.
    • Tax on first $47,630: $47,630 × 15% = $7,144.50
    • Tax on remaining $2,370: $2,370 × 20.5% = $487.35
    • Total Federal Tax: $7,144.50 + $487.35 = $7,631.85
  2. Ontario Tax: $50,000 falls into the $47,630 - $95,259 bracket.
    • Tax on first $47,630: $47,630 × 5.05% = $2,400.00
    • Tax on remaining $2,370: $2,370 × 9.15% = $217.00
    • Total Ontario Tax: $2,400.00 + $217.00 = $2,617.00
  3. CPP: $50,000 × 5.95% = $2,975.00
  4. EI: $50,000 × 1.66% = $830.00
  5. Total Deductions: $7,631.85 + $2,617.00 + $2,975.00 + $830.00 = $14,053.85
  6. Net Pay: $50,000 - $14,053.85 = $35,946.15

Using the calculator, you would enter $50,000 as your gross salary and see the net pay of approximately $35,946.15.
