Hi everyone, I live in Alberta, I got my first biweekly pay cheque, and it seems that... A LOT was deducted from it. How many percent is normal to be deducted?
I'm only 20 currently working through out the summer as a cashier before university starts again.
I use to work 12 - 20 hours 3 weeks ago and I noticed that I would get a bigger portion of the cheque
My paycheque from one week of working totalled to $204 after deductions worth $11 (CPP, EI) I got $192.85 as my cheque.
Now that I’m working more hours worked roughly 30ish hours my paycheque totaled too $511 I only got $435 as my cheque. $75.80 dollars were deducted for taxes
CPP $26.49 EI $8.48 FIT $22.94 PIT $17.89
Im literally pissed because I need to Pay back a loan if I want to go back to school in September and the deduct so much money! How does this work and why is it different compared to the first paycheque 😭
So ive always been on the basis that like 20-25% of your paycheque is taxed and whats left after that is your netpay, and im looking at my paycheque and the math just isnt adding up, so im confused
edit thank you I now hate the government 🤣 (joke btw) gotta pay huge amounts for income taxes then pay more when we file tax returns lol
