Formula Used
The take-home pay is calculated using the following steps:
Step 1: Calculate Federal Income Tax
Federal income tax is calculated based on progressive tax brackets. For example:
- First $50,197: 15% tax rate
- Next $50,197: 20.5% tax rate
- Next $100,392: 26% tax rate
- Amounts above $200,792: 29% tax rate
Step 2: Calculate Ontario Provincial Tax
Ontario uses a progressive tax system with brackets such as:
- First $48,225: 5.05% tax rate
- Next $48,225: 9.15% tax rate
- Next $52,408: 11.16% tax rate
- Next $70,000: 12.16% tax rate
- Amounts above $150,000: 13.16% tax rate
Step 3: Calculate CPP and EI Deductions
CPP is calculated at 5.95% of your gross salary, while EI is calculated at 1.66% for the employer and 1.66% for the employee.
Final Calculation
The net pay is calculated as:
Net Pay = Gross Salary - (Federal Tax + Ontario Tax + CPP + EI + HST)
