Formula and Assumptions

The weekly net pay calculation follows these steps:

Net Pay = Gross Pay - (Federal Tax + Provincial Tax + CPP + EI + RRSP)

Where:

Federal Tax is calculated based on the federal tax brackets
Provincial Tax is calculated based on Ontario's tax brackets
CPP is 5.1% of gross pay (employee portion)
EI is 1.6% of gross pay (employee portion)
RRSP is an optional 5% deduction (if selected)

This calculator uses the 2023 tax rates and assumes a standard pay period of 52 weeks per year. The RRSP deduction is based on the maximum allowable contribution for the year.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the weekly net pay for someone earning $1,200 gross per week in the basic tax bracket (no RRSP contributions):

Gross Pay: $1,200.00
Federal Tax: $120.00 (10% of $1,200)
Provincial Tax: $180.00 (12% of $1,200)
CPP: $61.20 (5.1% of $1,200)
EI: $19.20 (1.6% of $1,200)
Total Deductions: $470.40
Net Pay: $1,200.00 - $470.40 = $729.60

This example shows that after taxes and deductions, the employee would take home approximately $729.60 per week.
