How the calculator works

The calculator estimates your income tax and take-home pay for the tax year you pick.

What it counts

• Federal income tax, and the income tax of your province or territory.
• Basic personal amounts and the main tax credits.
• CPP or QPP, EI and QPIP contributions.
• RRSP and FHSA contributions, which lower your taxable income.

An estimate

The result is an estimate for a typical employee, not tax advice. Your actual tax can differ.

Where the rates come from

The rates and amounts are the ones published by:

• the Canada Revenue Agency
• Revenu Québec, for Quebec tax
