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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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).
