Worked Example

Let's calculate the weekly take-home pay for someone earning $1,500 gross per week with a single tax filing status and no RRSP contribution.

Gross pay: $1,500.00
Federal tax: $225.00
Ontario tax: $150.00
CPP: $75.00
EI: $18.75
Total deductions: $468.75
Net pay: $1,500.00 - $468.75 = $1,031.25

This example shows that after taxes and deductions, the employee would take home approximately $1,031.25 per week.
