1. What is Net Salary Calculation?

The net salary calculation determines take-home pay by subtracting all deductions (taxes, CPP, EI) from gross salary. For Ontario government employees, this includes federal tax, Ontario provincial tax, Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions, and Employment Insurance (EI) premiums.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ \text{Net Salary} = \text{Gross Salary} - \text{Federal Tax} - \text{Ontario Tax} - \text{CPP} - \text{EI} \]

Where:

Gross Salary — Total annual salary before deductions
Federal Tax — Income tax paid to federal government
Ontario Tax — Income tax paid to Ontario government
CPP — Canada Pension Plan contributions
EI — Employment Insurance premiums

Explanation: The equation accounts for all mandatory deductions from an Ontario government employee's salary.

3. Importance of Accurate Salary Calculation

Details: Understanding net salary helps with financial planning, budgeting, and verifying payroll accuracy. It's essential for comparing job offers and making informed career decisions.
