About These Calculators

Our Canadian salary calculators estimate take-home pay using federal tax brackets, provincial/territorial tax rates, CPP (Canada Pension Plan), and EI (Employment Insurance). Each province and territory has its own income tax ratesโ€”Alberta tends to have lower rates, while Quebec and Nova Scotia are among the highest. Select your province above to access calculators with accurate local tax rates. Results are estimates; for official figures, refer to the Canada Revenue Agency.

How Is Take-Home Pay Calculated in Canada?

Federal tax uses five progressive brackets (15% to 33%) with a basic personal amount. Provincial/territorial tax applies on top, with each region having its own brackets and rates. CPP (5.95% on earnings up to the YMPE) and EI (1.66% on insurable earnings) are also deducted. Net salary = gross minus federal tax, provincial tax, CPP, EI, and pre-tax deductions like RRSP.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Canadian salary calculations

?How does Canadian income tax work?

Canada uses a progressive federal tax system with five brackets, plus each province/territory has its own income tax rates. CPP (Canada Pension Plan) and EI (Employment Insurance) are also deducted from your paycheck.

?What are CPP and EI?

CPP is the Canada Pension Plan โ€” employees contribute 5.95% on earnings up to the YMPE. EI is Employment Insurance โ€” employees contribute 1.66% on insurable earnings up to the maximum. Your employer also contributes.

?Do all provinces have income tax?

Yes. All Canadian provinces and territories have their own income tax that applies in addition to federal tax. Rates vary by province.

?How do provincial taxes affect my take-home pay?

Provincial tax rates vary significantly across Canada. Alberta has relatively low rates, while Quebec and Nova Scotia tend to be higher. Our calculators include both federal and provincial tax calculations.

?What about RRSP contributions?

RRSP contributions reduce your taxable income. Our Net Salary Calculator allows you to factor in RRSP contributions for a more accurate take-home estimate.
