As of April 2026, Canada's federal minimum wage is $18.15 per hour,
or $37,752 annually for a full-time employee working 40 hours a week.
This rate applies to federally regulated workplaces.
Provinces and territories set their own minimum wages. For example, a full-time employee in Toronto earning Ontario's minimum wage of
$17.95 per hour would take home approximately
$2,576 per month after taxes and contributions.
The table below compares minimum wages across Canada and shows estimated monthly after-tax income for full-time employment in each province or territory.
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.
