This Canada income tax calculator estimates your 2026 federal and provincial income tax, CPP or QPP contributions and EI premiums on employment income, then shows what is left as take-home pay per year, month, pay period and hour. Pick any of the 13 provinces and territories. On a $75,000 salary in Ontario, for example, it works out to $8,258.60 of federal tax, $4,446.06 of Ontario tax including the $750 health premium, and $5,369.52 of CPP and EI, leaving $56,925.83 a year, or $2,189.45 every two weeks.
It uses the 2026 rules, including the federal lowest rate of 14% (down from 15% in mid-2025), the new BC lowest rate of 5.60%, PEI's new top bracket and Newfoundland and Labrador's higher basic personal amount, all checked against Canada Revenue Agency and Revenu Québec publications on October 18, 2026. The breakdown shows every bracket and credit so you can follow the arithmetic. It is an estimate for one person with employment income only: it leaves out credits such as tuition, medical expenses, donations and dependants, and other kinds of income. It is not tax advice.
How to use
- Enter your annual employment income before tax: salary, wages, bonuses and taxable benefits.
- Choose the province or territory you live in (where you lived on December 31 decides your provincial tax).
- Optionally enter an RRSP contribution you plan to deduct, and change the paid hours per year if you do not work 2,080.
- Read your take-home pay per period and the tax and contributions behind it, then open the federal and provincial breakdowns to see each bracket and credit.
Frequently asked questions
How much tax do I pay on $75,000 in Ontario in 2026?
About $12,705 of income tax: $8,258.60 federal and $4,446.06 Ontario, which includes the $750 Ontario Health Premium. CPP takes $4,246.45 (including $16 of CPP2) and EI $1,123.07. Take-home pay is about $56,926 a year, $4,743.82 a month or $2,189.45 every two weeks. Your average income tax rate is 16.9%, and each extra dollar of taxable income is taxed at 29.65%.
What are the federal tax brackets for 2026?
14% on the first $58,523 of taxable income, 20.5% from $58,523 to $117,045, 26% from $117,045 to $181,440, 29% from $181,440 to $258,482, and 33% above $258,482. The federal basic personal amount is $16,452, reduced gradually to $14,829 between $181,440 and $258,482 of net income. Provincial or territorial tax is charged on top, at its own rates.
What is the difference between my average and marginal tax rate?
Your average rate is your total income tax divided by your income: what you pay overall. Your marginal rate is the combined federal and provincial rate on your next dollar of taxable income. Canada taxes each slice of income at its own bracket rate, so moving into a higher bracket only raises the tax on the income above the threshold, never on what you already earned. The marginal rate is what an RRSP deduction saves you and what a raise costs in tax.
How much tax does an RRSP contribution save?
Roughly your marginal rate times the contribution. At $75,000 in Ontario, a $5,000 RRSP deduction lowers income tax by $1,632.51: $1,482.50 at the 29.65% marginal rate, plus $150 because taxable income drops below $72,000 and the Ontario Health Premium falls from $750 to $600. An RRSP deduction does not reduce CPP or EI, which are based on your pay. Your deduction limit is on your notice of assessment.
What are the CPP and EI rates for 2026?
Employees pay 5.95% CPP on earnings between $3,500 and $74,600 (maximum $4,230.45), plus 4% CPP2 on earnings from $74,600 to $85,000 (maximum $416). EI is 1.63% of insurable earnings up to $68,900 (maximum $1,123.07). In Quebec, QPP is 6.30% (maximum $4,479.30), EI is 1.30% (maximum $895.70) and QPIP is 0.43% up to $103,000 (maximum $442.90).
Why is the tax on my paycheque different from this estimate?
Payroll withholding is based on the TD1 forms you gave your employer, spreads the year evenly across pay periods and stops CPP and EI once you hit the maximums, so individual cheques vary. In 2026 BC, Newfoundland and Labrador and PEI changed rates mid-year and payroll uses prorated rates from July to catch up. This calculator estimates the tax for the whole year as your return would, before other credits, deductions and benefits you may claim.

Sources: CRA 2026 rates page and T4127 (January and July 2026 editions) for every province but Quebec; Revenu Québec TP-1015.F-V (2026-01) for Quebec. Manitoba's thresholds are frozen at $47,000 and $100,000 under its payroll guide and 2026 budget; the CRA rates page showed indexed figures ($47,564 and $101,200) when we checked, so Manitoba results near those thresholds may differ by a few dollars if that page is right.
How the calculation works
CPP (or QPP in Quebec) and EI come first, because they affect your tax. The enhanced part of CPP, the 1% first additional contribution and all of CPP2, is deducted from income; the base part (4.95% of the 5.95%) earns a non-refundable credit at the lowest rate, as do EI premiums. Your RRSP deduction also comes off income. What remains is taxable income.
Each slice of taxable income is taxed at its bracket rate, federally and provincially. Non-refundable credits are then subtracted at the lowest rate of each jurisdiction: the basic personal amount, the Canada employment amount (federal, and Yukon's own), and the CPP and EI credits. Finally the province-specific steps apply: Ontario's surtax, tax reduction, LIFT credit and health premium; the BC tax reduction; and in Quebec, Quebec's own tax with the 6% deduction for workers (up to $1,450) and the 16.5% federal abatement. Quebec has no separate credits for QPP, EI or QPIP; they are built into its basic personal amount.
We checked the results against the hand-worked figures from the published rates, against the CPP/EI credit in the CRA's T4127 worked example, and against an independent 2026 salary calculator (WorldSalaries) for $60,000 in Ontario, Quebec, BC and Alberta, which matched to the cent.
What this calculator does not include
• Self-employment income. Self-employed people pay both halves of CPP (11.90% plus 8% CPP2) and deduct half; this calculator covers employees only.
• Other credits and deductions: spouse or dependants, age, disability, tuition, medical expenses, donations, union and professional dues, childcare, moving expenses, employer pension plan (RPP) contributions.
• Other income: interest, dividends and their tax credits, capital gains, rental, pension, RRSP withdrawals, EI benefits.
• Refundable benefits and credits paid separately, such as the Canada Workers Benefit, GST/HST credit, Canada Child Benefit and provincial benefits.
• Low-income tax reductions in provinces other than Ontario and BC (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Manitoba and others have their own), the Alberta supplemental credit, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut payroll tax, and Quebec's prescription drug insurance premium for people without group coverage.
• Alternative minimum tax, the Ontario LIFT credit's family income test (the calculator assumes a single filer), and the timing of payroll withholding.
