Where:

• Federal Tax is calculated using 2021 federal tax brackets.
• Provincial Tax is calculated using Ontario's 2021 tax rates.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the net pay for a single filer with a gross salary of $50,000 in 2021.

1. Federal Tax: $8,200 (based on 2021 brackets)
2. Provincial Tax: $4,500 (Ontario 2021 rates)
3. CPP: $2,975 (5.95% of $50,000)
4. EI: $833 (1.66% of $50,000)

Total deductions: $8,200 + $4,500 + $2,975 + $833 = $16,508

Net Pay: $50,000 - $16,508 = $33,492
