Employment Insurance (EI)
Union dues (if applicable)

Net Pay Formula:

Net Pay = Gross Pay - (PIT + CPP + EI + Other Deductions)

Worked Examples

Example 1: Hourly Wage Calculation

If you earn $25/hour and work 40 hours per week (biweekly pay):

Gross pay: $25 × 40 × 2 = $2,000
PIT: $2,000 × 5.05% = $101
CPP: $2,000 × 5.95% = $119
EI: $2,000 × 1.66% = $33.20
Total deductions: $101 + $119 + $33.20 = $253.20
Net pay: $2,000 - $253.20 = $1,746.80

Example 2: Salary Calculation

If you earn $50,000 annually:

Gross pay: $50,000
PIT: $50,000 × 5.05% = $2,525
CPP: $50,000 × 5.95% = $2,975
EI: $50,000 × 1.66% = $830
Total deductions: $2,525 + $2,975 + $830 = $6,330
Net pay: $50,000 - $6,330 = $43,670
