The number of protons in an element does not depend on the charge of the element. An atom of a given element has the same number of protons as an isotope of that element. Thus, a calcium ion has 20 protons, just like atoms in calcium metal.

It depends on the nucleon number. Taking the nucleon number to be 40 (which is the nearest whole number to the relative atomic mass of Ca), the number of neutrons present in Ca2+ is 20.
