Ontario paycheck deductions explained
A typical Ontario paystub shows federal income tax, Ontario provincial or territorial tax, CPP or QPP, and Employment Insurance. Net pay is what remains after those mandatory withholdings (and any optional benefits your employer deducts).
Tips for Ontario take-home estimates
Use annual or biweekly gross that matches your offer letter. If you contribute to an RRSP via payroll, your real taxable income may be lower than this estimate. Compare Ontario against Ontario, Alberta, or British Columbia pages if you are relocating within Canada.
