⚙️ How Payworks Calculates Your Pay

1

Regular Pay

Regular hours × your hourly rate. Most employers in Canada use a biweekly pay cycle (26 periods/year).

2

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.

3

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).

4

Vacation Pay (VacEachPay)

4% of all gross earnings for this period (including OT and stat pay). Added to each paycheque rather than banked separately.

5

Tax Deductions

Federal tax, provincial tax, CPP and EI are calculated by annualizing this period's gross pay and applying 2026 CRA rates.

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 follows the standard Canadian formula: your total wages in the last 4 work weeks divided by 20 (the number of working days in 4 weeks). 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.

Hourly Paycheck Calculator FAQ

In Ontario, overtime is paid at 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for all hours worked over 44 hours in a work week. At $20/hr your overtime rate is $30/hr. BC and Alberta calculate overtime after 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week, whichever is greater.

StatPay@1.0 is your public holiday pay for a stat day off — calculated as total wages in the last 4 weeks ÷ 20. StatPay@1.5 is premium pay for working on a stat holiday — 1.5× your regular rate. Both can appear on the same pay stub if you took some stat time off and worked other stat hours.

Yes. In Canada, vacation pay is calculated on total gross earnings including overtime pay, stat pay, and commissions. So if you worked overtime in a pay period, your vacation pay for that period will also be slightly higher, as it is 4% of all earnings combined.

Public holiday pay = total regular wages in the 4 work weeks before the holiday ÷ 20. The number 20 represents the typical 20 working days in 4 weeks (5 days × 4 weeks). This gives you approximately one average day's pay per statutory holiday.

VacEachPay means vacation pay is paid out every paycheque rather than banked for when you take vacation. It is 4% of your total gross earnings for that period. Some employers bank vacation pay and release it when you take time off — the total amount is the same either way.

Hourly workers pay the same CPP and EI rates as salaried employees. CPP is 5.95% on earnings between $3,500 and $74,600. EI is 1.63% on earnings up to $68,900. These are deducted each paycheque based on your annualized earnings.

In Ontario, vacation pay increases from 4% (2 weeks) to 6% (3 weeks) after 5 years of employment with the same employer. Quebec reaches 6% after only 3 years, while Saskatchewan requires 10 years and Newfoundland requires 15 years.
