⚙️ How Payworks Calculates Your Pay
Regular Pay
Regular hours × your hourly rate. Most employers in Canada use a biweekly pay cycle (26 periods/year).
Overtime Pay
Overtime hours × (hourly rate × 1.5). In Ontario, overtime applies after 44 hrs/week. Shown as a separate line on your pay stub.
Stat Holiday Pay (StatPay)
Two components: StatPay@1.0 = public holiday pay (last 4 weeks wages ÷ 20). StatPay@1.5 = premium for working on stat (hours × rate × 1.5).
Vacation Pay (VacEachPay)
4% of all gross earnings for this period (including OT and stat pay). Added to each paycheque rather than banked separately.
Tax Deductions
Federal tax, provincial tax, CPP and EI are calculated by annualizing this period's gross pay and applying 2026 CRA rates.

Overtime Rules by Province (2026)
Overtime in Canada is usually paid at 1.5 times your regular rate ("time and a half"), but when it starts depends on where you work. Ontario only counts weekly hours — overtime begins after 44 hours in a week, no matter how long a single day is. BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the territories also pay overtime after 8 hours in a day.
| Province | Daily overtime after | Weekly overtime after | Overtime rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ontario | — | 44 hours | 1.5× your regular rate |
| British Columbia | 8 hours (2× after 12) | 40 hours | 1.5× your regular rate |
| Alberta | 8 hours | 44 hours | 1.5× your regular rate |
| Quebec | — | 40 hours | 1.5× your regular rate |
| Saskatchewan | 8 hours | 40 hours | 1.5× your regular rate |
| Manitoba | 8 hours | 40 hours | 1.5× your regular rate |
| Nova Scotia | — | 48 hours | 1.5× the minimum wage |
| New Brunswick | — | 44 hours | 1.5× the minimum wage |
| Prince Edward Island | — | 48 hours | 1.5× your regular rate |
| Newfoundland and Labrador | — | 40 hours | 1.5× the minimum wage |
| Yukon, NWT, Nunavut | 8 hours | 40 hours | 1.5× your regular rate |
| Federal (banks, airlines, telecom) | 8 hours | 40 hours | 1.5× your regular rate |
Ontario example: you earn $26 an hour and work 50 hours this week. The first 44 hours are paid at $26 ($1,144.00), and the 6 overtime hours are paid at $39 an hour ($234.00), for $1,378.00 before deductions. Enter your hours above to see your take-home pay after tax, CPP and EI.
In Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador, the law only requires overtime of 1.5× the minimum wage, so higher-paid workers may get less than time and a half unless their contract says otherwise. Some jobs — like managers and supervisors, and certain IT and professional roles — are exempt from overtime rules in many provinces.
About the Hourly Paycheck Calculator
This calculator is designed specifically for hourly employees in Canada and mirrors how popular payroll systems like Payworks calculate your pay stub. Unlike basic salary calculators, this tool handles the complexity of hourly pay including overtime at 1.5×, statutory holiday pay (both for working on a stat and for taking the day off), and vacation pay at 4% or 6% paid each paycheque.
The stat holiday pay calculation uses Ontario's formula: your wages (plus vacation pay) from the last 4 work weeks divided by 20. Other provinces use different formulas — see the stat holiday pay calculator for yours. This gives you roughly one day of pay per stat holiday, shown as StatPay@1.0 on Payworks pay stubs. If you also worked on the stat holiday, you receive StatPay@1.5 — your regular rate × 1.5 for those hours.
All 2026 federal and provincial tax rates, CPP (5.95%), and EI (1.63%) are applied automatically. Quebec employees receive QPP and QPIP calculations with the correct federal abatement.
