How Paystubs Work in Ontario
A paystub is a document that shows your earnings and deductions for a specific pay period. In Ontario, paystubs typically include:

- Deductions (taxes, benefits, etc.)
- Net pay (take-home pay)
- Employment insurance (EI) premiums
- Income tax deductions
Net Pay Formula:
Net Pay = Gross Pay - (Income Tax + EI Premiums + Other Deductions)

Worked Example
Let's calculate a paystub for an employee earning $2,500 gross per month in Ontario.
Assumptions:
- Federal tax rate: 20.5%
- Ontario tax rate: 5.05%
- EI rate: 1.66%
- CPP rate: 5.95%
The calculation would be:
- Calculate total tax: (20.5% + 5.05%) = 25.55%
- Calculate total deductions: 25.55% (tax) + 1.66% (EI) + 5.95% (CPP) = 33.16%
- Net pay = $2,500 - ($2,500 × 0.3316) = $1,669.50
