1. What is the Hourly Paycheck Calculator?

The Hourly Paycheck Calculator for Ontario helps you determine your net pay after accounting for Ontario taxes. It calculates how much you'll take home based on your hourly rate, hours worked, and estimated taxes.

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• Hourly — Your wage rate in dollars per hour
• Hours — Number of hours worked in the pay period

Tips: Enter your hourly wage in dollars, number of hours worked, and estimated Ontario taxes. All values must be positive numbers.
