Tax Calculator Ontario Hourly Wage

Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

Calculate your take-home pay in Ontario by entering your hourly wage and hours worked. This tax calculator provides an estimate of your net pay after federal and provincial taxes, CPP, and EI deductions.

How This Calculator Works

The Ontario hourly wage tax calculator estimates your net pay by applying federal and provincial tax rates to your gross earnings. The calculation follows these steps:

  1. Calculate your gross annual income from your hourly wage and hours worked
  2. Apply federal income tax based on tax brackets
  3. Apply Ontario provincial income tax based on tax brackets
  4. Deduct Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions
  5. Deduct Employment Insurance (EI) premiums
  6. Calculate your net annual income
  7. Convert back to hourly net pay
Net Hourly Wage = (Gross Annual Income - Federal Tax - Provincial Tax - CPP - EI) / (Hours Worked × 52)

This is an estimate only. Your actual pay may vary based on your specific situation and other deductions.

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the net hourly wage for someone earning $25/hour working 40 hours per week.

  1. Gross annual income: $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000
  2. Federal tax: $52,000 × 15% = $7,800
  3. Ontario tax: $52,000 × 5.05% = $2,626
  4. CPP: $52,000 × 5.95% = $3,106
  5. EI: $52,000 × 1.66% = $863
  6. Net annual income: $52,000 - $7,800 - $2,626 - $3,106 - $863 = $37,605
  7. Net hourly wage: $37,605 / (40 × 52) = $18.36

Example Result

For a $25/hour wage working 40 hours per week:

$18.36/hour net pay

This means you'll take home approximately $18.36 per hour after taxes.
