How Payroll Taxes Are Calculated

The total payroll cost is calculated by adding the gross salary to all applicable deductions. The formula is:

Total Payroll Cost = Gross Salary + Federal Income Tax + Ontario Provincial Tax + CPP + EI

Each component is calculated based on the employee's gross salary and the applicable tax rates. The calculator uses the progressive tax rates for both federal and provincial taxes.

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the payroll cost for an employee with a gross salary of $50,000 per year.

Federal Income Tax: $6,500.50
Ontario Provincial Tax: $2,500.00
CPP: $2,975.25
EI: $830.00

The total payroll cost would be $50,000 + $6,500.50 + $2,500.00 + $2,975.25 + $830.00 = $59,805.75.
