Ontario workers pay federal income tax, Ontario provincial income tax, CPP contributions, and EI premiums. Your final net pay depends on salary, pay frequency, credits, deductions, and whether you have overtime or variable income.
For salary and hourly workers
Use annual salary mode for a fixed salary or hourly mode for shift-based work. If your hours change weekly, timesheet mode gives a more realistic estimate.
