1. What Is Net Pay Calculation?

Net pay calculation determines the actual amount an employee takes home after all mandatory deductions including federal tax, provincial tax, Canada Pension Plan (CPP), and Employment Insurance (EI) contributions.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the net pay formula:

\[ Net Pay = Gross Pay - (Federal Tax + Provincial Tax + CPP + EI) \]

Where:

\( Provincial Tax \) — Ontario provincial income tax (%)

Explanation: Each deduction is calculated as a percentage of gross pay, then subtracted from the total gross amount to determine the final net pay.
