Net Pay Calculation

The net pay is calculated by subtracting all deductions from the gross pay:

Net Pay = Gross Pay - (Federal Tax + Provincial Tax + CPP + EI)

Worked Example

Let's calculate the payroll for an employee with a gross pay of $50,000:

Deduction Calculation Amount
Federal Income Tax $50,000 × 15% = $7,500 $7,500
Ontario Provincial Tax $50,000 × 5.05% = $2,525 $2,525
Canada Pension Plan (CPP) $50,000 × 5.1% = $2,550 $2,550
Employment Insurance (EI) $50,000 × 1.66% = $830 $830
Total Deductions $7,500 + $2,525 + $2,550 + $830 = $13,405 $13,405
Net Pay $50,000 - $13,405 = $36,595 $36,595

For this example, the employee would receive $36,595 after all deductions.
