How Ontario Payroll Works
In Ontario, your gross pay is reduced by several deductions to arrive at your net pay. The main deductions include:
- Income tax
- Canada Pension Plan (CPP)
- Employment Insurance (EI)
- Union dues (if applicable)
- Other deductions (health insurance, retirement contributions, etc.)
Formula Used
Gross Pay = Net Pay / (1 - (Income Tax Rate + CPP Rate + EI Rate + Other Deductions))
The exact rates depend on your tax bracket and whether you have additional deductions.
Common Deductions in Ontario
Here are the standard deduction rates in Ontario:
| Deduction Type | Employee Rate | Employer Rate |
|---|---|---|
| CPP | 4.95% | 5.1% |
| EI | 1.66% | 1.4% |
| Income Tax | Varies by bracket (5.05% - 13.16%) | N/A |
Note: These rates are approximate and may vary based on your specific situation.
Example Calculation
Let's say you earn $2,000 net pay in Ontario with a 12% income tax rate, 4.95% CPP, and 1.66% EI.
- Total deductions = 12% + 4.95% + 1.66% = 18.61%
- Gross pay = $2,000 / (1 - 0.1861) ≈ $2,400
So, your gross pay would be approximately $2,400 to receive $2,000 net.
