Formula Used

The payroll calculator uses the following formulas to calculate Ontario payroll taxes for 2015:

Federal Tax = Gross Salary × Federal Tax Rate Provincial Tax = Gross Salary × Provincial Tax Rate CPP = Gross Salary × CPP Rate EI = Gross Salary × EI Rate Total Deductions = Federal Tax + Provincial Tax + CPP + EI Net Pay = Gross Salary - Total Deductions

Where:

Federal Tax Rate = 15% (2015 rate)
Provincial Tax Rate = 13% (Ontario rate for 2015)
CPP Rate = 4.95% (2015 rate)
EI Rate = 1.66% (2015 rate)

These rates are based on the 2015 tax tables and regulations for Ontario.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the payroll taxes for an employee with a gross salary of $50,000 in 2015.

Federal Tax = $50,000 × 15% = $7,500 Provincial Tax = $50,000 × 13% = $6,500 CPP = $50,000 × 4.95% = $2,475 EI = $50,000 × 1.66% = $830 Total Deductions = $7,500 + $6,500 + $2,475 + $830 = $17,305 Net Pay = $50,000 - $17,305 = $32,695

For this example, the total payroll cost is $50,000, and the net pay to the employee is $32,695. The employer must pay the total deductions of $17,305.
