About this calculator
Updated June 2026Use the Canadian salary and tax calculator to see your 2026 take-home pay after federal tax, provincial tax, CPP, CPP2, and EI. The tool supports all 13 provinces and territories and models optional RRSP contributions so you can compare scenarios before you run payroll.
What you can do with it
- Compare job offers across provinces (Ontario vs BC vs Alberta vs Quebec).
- See how much of a salary bump actually lands in your bank account.
- Model an RRSP contribution and watch your refund (or tax owing) update instantly.
- Estimate the 2026 CPP2 second-tier contribution on earnings above the YMPE.
How the math works
Take-home pay starts with gross employment income, subtracts federal tax using the 2026 brackets (including the new 14% first-tier rate), then provincial tax using the province-specific brackets, credits, surtax, and health premiums. CPP is calculated up to the $74,600 YMPE plus CPP2 up to $85,000, and EI is applied up to the $68,900 maximum insurable earnings. Results are rounded and intended for planning - always reconcile against your actual T4 and pay stub.

Frequently asked questions

On $75,000 gross in Ontario you pay approximately $8,310 in federal income tax, $4,476 in Ontario provincial tax (including health premium), $4,246 in CPP and CPP2, and $1,123 in EI - leaving roughly $56,845 net take-home, or about $4,737/month. The combined income-tax marginal rate at $75,000 is 29.65% (20.5% federal + 9.15% Ontario).
What is the marginal tax rate in Ontario for 2026?
Ontario combined income-tax marginal rates (federal + provincial) in 2026: up to $53,891 = 19.05%, $53,891–$58,523 = 23.15%, $58,523–~$94,900 = 29.65%, ~$94,900–$107,785 = 31.48% (tier-1 surtax), $117,045–$150,000 = 43.41% (federal bracket 3 + both surtax tiers), $181,440–$220,000 = 47.97%, above $258,482 = 53.53%. Exact thresholds depend on surtax and other credits.
How much CPP do I pay on $80,000 income in 2026?
On $80,000 employment income in 2026 you pay the maximum CPP1 employee contribution of $4,230 (rate 5.95% on earnings $3,500–$74,600) plus $216 CPP2 (rate 4.0% on $74,600–$80,000), for a total of about $4,446 in CPP premiums.
How much does an RRSP contribution reduce my taxes?
An RRSP contribution reduces taxable income at your marginal rate. A $10,000 RRSP contribution at a 29.65% marginal income-tax rate (Ontario, ~$75,000 income) saves approximately $3,115 in income tax. The refund arrives when you file your T1 return. Higher earners save more per dollar contributed.
What is the difference between marginal and effective tax rate?
Your marginal rate is the rate on your last dollar earned - it determines how much of a bonus, RRSP contribution, or side income you actually keep. Your effective rate is total income tax paid divided by total income. An Ontario employee earning $75,000 has a 29.65% income-tax marginal rate but an effective income-tax rate of roughly 18% after the basic personal amount credit.
How much tax do I pay on a $100,000 salary in BC in 2026?
On $100,000 gross in British Columbia you pay approximately $14,393 federal tax, $5,902 BC provincial tax, $4,246 CPP and CPP2, and $1,123 EI - leaving roughly $74,300 net take-home, or about $6,195/month. BC's combined income-tax marginal rate at $100,000 is 28.2% (20.5% federal + 7.7% BC).
