Formula and Assumptions
The net pay calculation follows these steps:

- Apply Ontario provincial taxes (5.05% for basic personal amount)

- Deduct Employment Insurance (EI) premiums (1.66% for employees)
- Calculate net pay after all deductions
Formula Used
Net Pay = Gross Pay - (Provincial Taxes + CPP + EI)
Gross Pay = Hourly Rate × Hours Worked or Annual Salary
Worked Example
For an annual salary of $50,000 paid weekly:
- Weekly gross pay: $50,000 ÷ 52 ≈ $961.54
- Provincial taxes: $961.54 × 5.05% ≈ $48.40
- CPP: $961.54 × 10.2% ≈ $98.03
- EI: $961.54 × 1.66% ≈ $16.00
- Net pay: $961.54 - ($48.40 + $98.03 + $16.00) ≈ $799.51
