1. What is the Ontario Paycheck Deduction Calculator?

The Ontario Paycheck Deduction Calculator estimates your net take-home pay after accounting for federal tax, provincial tax (Ontario), Canada Pension Plan (CPP), and Employment Insurance (EI) deductions. It helps you understand how much money you'll actually receive from your gross salary.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the paycheck formula:

\[ Net = Gross - (Fed + Prov 5.05-13.16\% + CPP + EI) \]

Where:

\( Gross \) — Total earnings before deductions (CAD)
\( Fed \) — Federal income tax rate (%)
\( Prov \) — Ontario provincial tax rate (5.05-13.16%)
\( CPP \) — Canada Pension Plan contribution rate (%)
\( EI \) — Employment Insurance premium rate (%)

Explanation: The calculator subtracts all mandatory deductions from your gross pay to determine your net take-home amount.

3. Importance of Paycheck Calculation

Details: Understanding your net pay is crucial for budgeting, financial planning, and ensuring you're being taxed correctly. It helps you plan expenses and savings based on your actual income.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your gross pay in CAD, federal tax rate (%), Ontario provincial tax rate (between 5.05-13.16%), CPP rate (%), and EI rate (%). All values must be valid positive numbers.
