About this calculator

Updated June 2026

Use 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.

Canadian context - 2026

2026 key numbers: federal basic personal amount $16,452, CPP rate 5.95% (YMPE $74,600), CPP2 rate 4.0% (up to $85,000), EI employee rate 1.63% (max insurable $68,900), RRSP annual limit $33,810, TFSA annual room $7,000.

Frequently asked questions

How is take-home pay calculated in Ontario?

Ontario take-home pay starts with gross employment income, then subtracts federal and Ontario income tax (using 2026 brackets and credits), Canada Pension Plan (CPP/CPP2), Employment Insurance (EI), and any pre-tax deductions you model (such as RRSP). Provincial surtaxes and the Ontario health premium may apply at higher income levels.

How much tax do I pay on a $75,000 salary in Ontario in 2026?

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.

Does this calculator include CPP and EI for 2026?

Yes. The tool uses 2026 CPP and CPP2 rates and ceilings and 2026 EI premiums, capped at maximum insurable earnings. Results are illustrative - verify with your pay stub or accountant.

What is the 2026 RRSP contribution limit?

The 2026 RRSP annual contribution limit is $33,810 - or 18% of your 2025 earned income, whichever is lower. Unused room accumulates indefinitely. Your exact room appears on your latest CRA Notice of Assessment or in My Account on the CRA website.

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.

Can I compare provinces with this salary calculator?

Yes - select any of Canada's 13 provinces and territories to see how federal and provincial brackets, credits, and premiums change your net pay. Alberta has no provincial income surtax and lower marginal rates at many income levels; Quebec uses a separate provincial return and generally has higher provincial rates.

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).
