About this calculator

Canadian Take-Home Pay by ChowChow Labs estimates 2026 Canadian income tax, CPP/QPP, EI/QPIP and take-home pay for every province and territory. It is the web version of our iOS app, IncomeTaxCalculator - Canada.

Results are estimates for planning only. This site is not tax-filing software and does not replace the Canada Revenue Agency, Revenu Québec or advice from a qualified tax professional. Your actual tax depends on credits, deductions and circumstances the calculator does not ask about.

What the estimate includes

Federal and provincial or territorial tax brackets for 2026, the basic personal amount, the Canada employment amount, CPP/QPP and EI/QPIP contributions and the credits for them, the pension and dividend tax credits, the Quebec abatement, and the Ontario surtax, tax reduction and Health Premium. It does not include refundable benefits, provincial low-income reductions outside Ontario, or credits such as medical expenses, donations and childcare.
