Why your pay stub may differ, and the math
This is the yearly total under the CRA's payroll formulas (T4127) for a single employee with only the basic claim on the TD1, spread evenly. Real stubs differ when: your TD1 claims a spouse, dependants or tuition; you have bonuses, overtime or commission (taxed with the bonus method); the employer withholds more or less because CPP and EI stop once the maximums are reached; you have taxable benefits (group life, parking) or a second job; or your province changed rates mid-year.
Federal tax. Taxable income $49,535.00 = $50,000.00 gross − $465.00 enhanced CPP. Tax through the brackets $6,934.90; credits at 14% on Basic personal amount $16,452.00, Canada employment amount $1,501.00, CPP base contributions $2,301.75, EI premiums $815.00 = $2,949.77 → $3,985.13.
Manitoba tax. Taxable income $49,535.00; tax through the brackets $5,399.21; credits at 10.80% = $2,040.85 → $3,358.36.
CPP. ($50,000.00 − $3,500.00) × 5.95% = $2,766.75. EI. 1.63% up to $68,900 = $815.00. RRSP, pension and dues reduce income tax but not CPP or EI.
