Net Salary Formula
Net Salary = Gross Salary - (Federal Tax + Provincial Tax + CPP + EI)
Where:
- Federal Tax is calculated based on 2020 federal tax brackets
- Provincial Tax is calculated based on Ontario's 2020 tax rates
- CPP is 5.95% of earnings (up to the CPP maximum contribution base)
- EI is 1.66% of earnings (up to the EI maximum contribution base)
For more precise calculations, the calculator uses progressive tax brackets and applies deductions in the correct order.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the net salary for a single person earning $50,000 in 2020.
- Federal Tax: $8,533.50
- Provincial Tax: $4,500.00
- CPP: $2,975.00
- EI: $832.50
Total Deductions: $16,836.00
Net Salary: $50,000 - $16,836 = $33,164
This means a $50,000 salary in Ontario for 2020 would result in approximately $33,164 after taxes and deductions.
Interpreting Your Results
Your net salary result shows how much you'll actually take home after all deductions. Here's what each part of the result means:
- Gross Salary: Your total earnings before any deductions
- Federal Tax: Income tax paid to the federal government
- Provincial Tax: Income tax paid to the Ontario government
- CPP: Contributions to the Canada Pension Plan
- EI: Contributions to Employment Insurance
- Net Salary: Your take-home pay after all deductions
