How Canadian take-home pay is worked out
You pay federal income tax at 14% on the first $58,523 of taxable income in 2026, rising to 20.5%, 26%, 29% and 33% in higher brackets. Your province or territory adds its own tax on top. Both levels give you non-refundable credits, starting with the basic personal amount (up to $16,452 federally).
Payroll deductions come off as well. CPP is 5.95% of earnings between $3,500 and $74,600, and CPP2 is 4% on earnings from $74,600 to $85,000. EI is 1.63% of insurable earnings up to $68,900.
