Note: This calculator uses Ontario's 2020 tax rates and deduction rules. Rates and rules may change in future years.
Formula for Take Home Pay
The basic formula for calculating take-home pay in Ontario is:
Where:
- Gross Pay - Your total earnings before any deductions
- Income Tax - Calculated based on your tax bracket
- CPP - Canada Pension Plan contribution (5.95% of earnings up to the CPP earnings maximum)
- EI - Employment Insurance premium (1.66% of earnings up to the EI earnings maximum)
For 2020, the CPP and EI earnings maximums were $57,400.
Example Calculation
Let's calculate the take-home pay for someone earning $50,000 in Ontario for 2020.
- Calculate CPP: 5.95% of $50,000 = $2,975
- Calculate EI: 1.66% of $50,000 = $830
- Calculate total deductions: $2,975 + $830 = $3,805
- Calculate taxable income: $50,000 - $3,805 = $46,195
- Calculate income tax (using Ontario's 2020 tax brackets):
- $44,771 at 5.05% = $2,267
- $1,424 at 9.15% = $130
- $1,000 at 11.16% = $112
- $2,995 at 12.16% = $364
- Total tax = $2,267 + $130 + $112 + $364 = $2,873
- Calculate take-home pay: $50,000 - ($2,975 + $830 + $2,873) = $41,322
So, someone earning $50,000 in Ontario for 2020 would take home approximately $41,322 after taxes and deductions.
