Estimate take-home pay by province or territory. Calculations run locally in your browser and are simplified for education.
Enter the pay amount you know, then choose whether that amount is annual, monthly, semi-monthly, biweekly, weekly, or hourly. If you choose hourly, enter hours per week and weeks per year so the calculator can estimate annual gross pay.
Use optional deductions only for rough annual deductions you already know, such as pension contributions, RRSP payroll deductions, union dues, or other recurring payroll deductions.
The tax settings live in assets/js/calculators.js so they can be updated in one place. Before relying on a specific tax-year version, check CRA individual tax brackets, CRA T4032 payroll tables, CPP/QPP limits, and EI rates.
Real payroll can include credits, benefits, taxable benefits, employer rules, pension adjustments, and province-specific rules, so this remains an estimate.
