Tax and Provincial Tax (Use claim code 1)?• His weekly pay is $512.25

– EI: $9.12 weekly so $18.24– CPP: $22.03 weekly so $44.06– Federal Tax:$38.85 weekly so $77.70– Provincial Tax:$11.60 weekly so $23.20

Semi-Monthly Pay

• Fred gets paid two times a month. If he earns $2034.53 in one pay period, what is his weekly taxable income?

• Fred is paid twice a month, so 24 times a year• If he earned the same each pay period he

would earn $2034.53 x 24 = $48828.72 a year

Semi-Monthly Pay

• If Fred were paid every week he would be paid 48828.72 ÷ 52 = $939.01 per week

• We can use this rate to determine how tax to take off

• Fred’s weekly CPP contribution is $42.90 to determine how much to take off his check multiply by 52 to determine how much to take off in year, and divide by 24 (because Fred is paid Semi-Monthly)

Semi-Monthly Pay

• 42.90 x 52 = $2230.80 per year• 2230.80 ÷ 24 = $92.95 semi-monthly

Practice

• John is paid semi-monthly. He grosses $893.24 in one pay period. What is his EI deduction?

• 893.24 x 24 = 21347.76 (annual pay)• 21347.76 ÷ 52 = 412.26 (weekly pay)Weekly EI deduction = $7.347.34 x 52 = 381.68 (annual deduction)381.68 ÷ 24 = $15.90 (semi-monthly deduction)
