Canada Paycheck Calculator
Estimate federal and provincial income tax, CPP, EI and annual take-home pay.
Estimate only. Canadian payroll deductions can depend on TD1 credits, pensionable/insurable earnings and other payroll circumstances. Quebec also has QPIP and different EI rates.
2026 federal brackets, CPP and EI figures are based on Canada Revenue Agency material. Provincial income tax shown here is a simplified estimate.
How to use the Canada paycheck calculator

- Choose your province. Each province has its own tax brackets and personal amount.
- Pick your pay frequency to see the amount per paycheck.
The results update automatically and show federal tax, provincial tax, CPP, EI and your take-home pay.
Worked example: Ontario
On C$60,000 in Ontario, the estimate is about C$5,548 in federal tax, C$2,982 in provincial tax (including the Ontario Health Premium), C$3,362 in CPP and C$978 in EI. That leaves roughly C$47,130 a year.
What is included
The calculator uses 2026 federal and provincial brackets, the federal basic personal amount of $16,452 (tapering at high incomes), the CPP rate of 5.95% plus CPP2, and the EI rate of 1.63% (1.30% in Quebec). Ontario surtax and Health Premium are included. Quebec uses CPP rates as an approximation of QPP, and some credits, such as the Canada employment amount, are not included.
