Countworthy for payroll and HR teams

The one-off pay calculation your payroll system has no screen for.

Bonus withholding by CRA’s own method, vacation payout and overtime by province, a mid-year hire’s pro-rated salary, a raise after tax — sourced and dated like everything else on this site.

Most payroll teams want three of these — bonus, vacation, overtime — so the per-tool price is the one to look at.

Questions

Why not use our payroll vendor's calculator?

Most payroll systems run the regular pay cycle correctly and don’t need replacing for that. What they rarely have is a quick, shareable answer to the one-off question that comes up between runs: what a specific bonus nets out to before you commit to it, what a departing employee’s vacation payout should be, what a mid-year hire’s first partial cheque looks like. These calculators are built for that single question, sourced and dated, not to replace your payroll system’s own engine.

Is this specific to our province?

Bonus withholding uses CRA’s method nationally, but vacation pay and overtime thresholds are set by each province’s or territory’s employment standards act, and each calculator asks which one applies before it computes anything — Ontario’s overtime threshold isn’t Alberta’s, and vacation entitlement schedules differ too. Every figure is cited to the act it comes from, dated, and re-checked each January.
