How Salary Calculation Works in Canada

Canadian salaries are subject to federal and provincial income tax, CPP (Canada Pension Plan) contributions, and EI (Employment Insurance) premiums. Employers withhold these through payroll deductions.

CPP contributions are shared equally between employer and employee at 5.95% each, on pensionable earnings between $3,500 and $71,300. EI premiums are 1.64% (employee) on insurable earnings up to $65,700.

The take-home pay shown uses Ontario provincial tax rates. Other provinces have different rates. Employees may also contribute to workplace pension plans or RRSPs for additional tax savings.
