Worked Example

Let's calculate the payroll taxes for an employee with a gross salary of $50,000 in 2016 Ontario.

Gross Salary: $50,000

CPP (4.95%): $50,000 × 0.0495 = $2,475

EI (1.62%): $50,000 × 0.0162 = $810

Federal Income Tax: $50,000 falls into the 20.5% bracket

$45,282 × 15% = $6,792.30

($50,000 - $45,282) × 20.5% = $9,056.30

Total Federal Tax = $6,792.30 + $9,056.30 = $15,848.60

Total Payroll Tax: $2,475 + $810 + $15,848.60 = $19,133.60

Net Salary: $50,000 - $19,133.60 = $30,866.40

Using this calculator, you can quickly determine the payroll taxes for any gross salary in 2016 Ontario. The results provide a clear breakdown of each tax component and the final net salary.
