Calculate your weekly take-home pay in Ontario with this free weekly paycheck calculator. Simply enter your gross weekly salary and select your tax filing status to see how much you'll actually receive after deductions.
How to Use This Calculator
Using our weekly paycheck calculator is simple:
- Enter your gross weekly salary in the first field
- Select your tax filing status from the dropdown menu
- Click the "Calculate" button
- View your take-home pay and deductions breakdown
The calculator will show you your net pay after federal and provincial taxes, Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Employment Insurance (EI), and any RRSP contributions you've elected to make.
Formula Used
The calculator uses the following steps to determine your take-home pay:
- Calculate federal tax using progressive tax brackets
- Calculate Ontario provincial tax using progressive tax brackets
- Calculate CPP contribution (5.95% of earnings)
- Calculate EI premium (1.66% of earnings)
- Subtract all deductions from gross pay to get net pay
Net Pay = Gross Pay - Federal Tax - Provincial Tax - CPP - EI
For RRSP contributions, the calculator subtracts the amount from your gross pay before calculating other deductions.
Example Calculation
Let's say you earn $1,200 gross per week as a single filer in Ontario:
- Federal tax: $180.50
- Ontario tax: $120.00
- CPP: $71.40
- EI: $19.88
Your net pay would be $1,200 - $180.50 - $120.00 - $71.40 - $19.88 = $728.22 per week.
Note: Actual amounts may vary slightly based on exact tax brackets and rounding rules.
