Example Calculation

Let's calculate the deductions for a single employee with a gross salary of $50,000:

Step 1: Calculate Income Tax

For $50,000:

• $49,231 × 5.05% = $2,476.28
• Remaining $769 × 9.15% = $69.73
• Total Income Tax = $2,546.01

Step 2: Calculate CPP and EI

CPP is 5.95% of $50,000 = $2,975.00

EI is 1.66% of $50,000 = $830.00

Step 3: Calculate Net Pay

Net Pay = $50,000 - ($2,546.01 + $2,975.00 + $830.00) = $43,548.99
