1. What is Net Salary Calculation?

The net salary calculation determines your take-home pay after deducting all mandatory taxes and contributions from your gross salary. In Canada, this includes federal tax, provincial tax, Canada Pension Plan (CPP), and Employment Insurance (EI).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:
