Taxes Included in This Salary Calculator

• Federal tax: This is the tax paid to the Canadian government. Rates start at 14% and can increase up to 33% depending on your income level.
• Provincial tax: This tax is paid to the provincial government, with rates that may differ significantly from one province or territory to another. Much like federal tax, it is a progressive system where the applicable rate increases with higher income levels.
• Canada Pension Plan (CPP) or Quebec Pension Plan (QPP): These are contributions toward your financial security in cases of disability, death, or retirement. Both employee and employer contributions are made automatically with each paycheck.
• Employment Insurance (EI): This is a social insurance program that supports individuals during periods of unemployment. Like CPP/QPP, EI and QPIP premiums are calculated at fixed rates up to a maximum income level and are automatically deducted from your paychecks.
