Worked Example
Let's calculate the take-home hourly pay for a full-time employee earning $25/hour.
| Component | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Gross hourly wage | $25.00 | $25.00 |
| Federal tax (15%) | $25.00 × 0.15 | $3.75 |
| Provincial tax (12%) | $25.00 × 0.12 | $3.00 |
| CPP (5.95%) | $25.00 × 0.0595 | $1.49 |
| EI (1.66%) | $25.00 × 0.0166 | $0.42 |
| Take-home hourly pay | $25.00 - ($3.75 + $3.00 + $1.49 + $0.42) | $16.34 |
For this example, the take-home hourly pay is $16.34.
