Updated Checked by the Tax-Services.ca editorial team How we check
A $75,000 job offer in Ontario means $56,926 in the employee’s pocket each year and $80,819 on the employer’s books. The first number is $4,744 a month.
The offer letter versus the payroll report
The salary in the offer is only the starting line for the business. Employer CPP of $4,246 and employer EI of $1,572 are paid on top, which adds $5,819 to the cost of the position. Per month, the employer’s cost is $6,735, against the salary alone of $6,250.
Both sides of CPP and EI
CPP is matched dollar for dollar. EI is matched at a higher rate for the employer, and the table shows both.
| Program | Employee pays | Employer pays |
|---|---|---|
| CPP | $4,246 | $4,246 |
| EI | $1,123 | $1,572 |
| Together | $5,370 | $5,819 |
What the employee actually receives
Income tax is the largest deduction for the employee, at $12,705 for the year ($8,259 federal and $4,446 Ontario). With CPP and EI the total taken is $18,074, or 24.1% of gross.
| Pay schedule | Gross | Net |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly | $1,442 | $1,095 |
| Biweekly | $2,885 | $2,189 |
| Semi-monthly | $3,125 | $2,372 |
| Monthly | $6,250 | $4,744 |
Plans for the employee’s month
Once the deposit is known, a budget can be built on it. Monthly take-home of $4,744 supports a housing limit of $1,423 at 30% or $1,660 at 35%. A 20% savings target comes to $949 a month, and 30% for wants comes to $1,423.
The same pay in a household with two earners at this level brings in $113,852 a year after tax, because each person is taxed on their own income.
What the extra employer cost buys no one
The $5,819 of employer contributions does not appear on the employee’s pay stub. It goes straight to the programs. An employee who compares two offers sees only the salary, so a gap of a few thousand dollars between offers can hide a different total cost on the employer side.
Hourly, the salary is $36.06 gross and $27.37 net at 40 hours a week. At 37.5 hours it is $38.46 gross and $29.19 net.
A raise as the payroll team sees it
A move from $75,000 to $80,000 adds $5,000 to the wage. The employee’s net rises by $3,377, to $60,303, so 67.5% of the raise arrives as take-home. A cut of $5,000 goes the other way and lowers net to $53,786. The raise calculator handles other amounts.
Jobs differ in what else they include, and these figures cover only pay. For a person reading across salary levels, the $70,000 and $80,000 Ontario pages sit on either side, and the other $75k page covers this same income. Provincial rates are listed on the Ontario tax page.
Where do these figures come from?
