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 $74,273.00 = $75,000.00 gross − $727.00 enhanced CPP. Tax through the brackets $11,421.97; credits at 14% on Basic personal amount $16,452.00, Canada employment amount $1,501.00, CPP base contributions $3,519.45, EI premiums $1,123.07 = $3,163.37 → $8,258.60.
New Brunswick tax. Taxable income $74,273.00; tax through the brackets $7,990.90; credits at 9.40% = $1,720.81 → $6,270.09.
CPP. ($74,600.00 − $3,500.00) × 5.95% = $4,230.45, plus 4% on earnings between $74,600 and $85,000 = $16.00. EI. 1.63% up to $68,900 = $1,123.07. RRSP, pension and dues reduce income tax but not CPP or EI.
