Worked example
An Ontario employee earning $60,000 in 2026 pays CPP of 5.95% × ($60,000 − $3,500) = $3,361.75 and EI of 1.63% = $978. The 1% enhanced part of CPP ($565) is deducted, so taxable income is $59,435. Federal tax is 14% × $58,523 + 20.5% × $912 = $8,380.18, less 14% credits on the basic personal amount, Canada employment amount, CPP base contributions and EI ($21,727.75) = $5,338.30. Ontario tax is $3,228.77 less 5.05% credits of $846.57 = $2,382.20 (no surtax), plus the Ontario Health Premium of $600. Take-home pay is $47,339.75 a year.
What changed for 2026
The lowest federal rate is 14% for the whole of 2026 (it was 15% until 30 June 2025, giving 14.5% for 2025), and the value of most federal credits fell with it. CPP limits rose to $74,600 and $85,000, and EI fell to 1.63%. Provinces made mid-year changes that apply to all of 2026: British Columbia raised its lowest rate to 5.6% and its tax reduction to $690, Prince Edward Island added a 20% bracket above $200,000 and raised its basic personal amount to $15,000, and Newfoundland and Labrador raised its basic personal amount to $13,094. Alberta's new 8% bracket now covers the first $61,200.
How this calculator works
It works out the full-year 2026 tax a resident employee owes, using only the basic personal amount, the Canada employment amount and credits for CPP (or QPP) and EI, then spreads it over your pay periods. Your employer's payroll deductions use the CRA formulas and your TD1 forms, so a paycheque can differ slightly; the difference is settled on your tax return.
For employers
Running payroll by hand (tax tables, contributions, payslips, filings) is routine work that AI workers now handle with almost no staff time. See what an employee really costs you, or book a free automation audit for your payroll.
Please note: figures follow the published 2026 rates as checked on 21 October 2026 for a resident employee in the standard case. Not included: credits beyond the basic personal amount, Canada employment amount, CPP/QPP and EI (for example spouse, dependant, tuition, medical and charitable credits), low-income tax reductions in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec, refundable benefits such as the Canada Workers Benefit and GST/HST credit, union dues and taxable benefits. Quebec figures assume no other deductions; the Quebec basic personal amount and worker deduction are the 2025 amounts indexed by 2.05%. This is a guide, not tax advice; your payslip can differ because of tax codes, benefits and timing.
