How we calculate
  • Estimates only — not tax or payroll advice.
  • Federal tax uses 2026 CRA brackets (14%–33%) with BPA credit (~$16,452 × 14%).
  • Provincial model: brackets. Pre-tax deductions reduce income-tax bases only (not CPP/EI/QPP/QPIP).
  • Quebec uses QPP (6.30% + QPP2), reduced federal EI (1.30%), and QPIP (0.430%) — simplified annual caps.
  • Tax year 2026. Tables last reviewed: 2026-07-22.
