1. What is Net to Gross Salary Conversion?

The Net to Gross Salary conversion calculates the pre-tax salary amount (gross) based on the take-home pay (net) after accounting for tax rates and deduction rates specific to Ontario government employees.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Net Salary} \) — Take-home pay after taxes and deductions (CAD/year)
• \( \text{Tax Rate} \) — Combined tax rate (decimal form, e.g., 0.25 for 25%)
• \( \text{Deduction Rate} \) — Additional deductions rate (decimal form)

Explanation: The formula reverses the standard payroll calculation to determine the original gross amount before deductions.

3. Importance of Gross Salary Calculation

Details: Knowing your gross salary helps in financial planning, contract negotiations, and understanding your complete compensation package as an Ontario government employee.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter net salary in CAD/year, tax rate as decimal (e.g., 0.25 for 25%), and deduction rate as decimal. Ensure tax rate + deduction rate is less than 1 (100%).
