Your result, explained

Your $80,000 of client income becomes $80,000 of profit after expenses, and you keep $55,906 after $24,094 of tax, 30.1% of profit. Nobody withholds that tax for you, so move about $6,024 into a separate tax account every quarter ($2,008 a month).

To take home the same as an employee you would need a salary of about $76,358. But employees also get paid leave, retirement contributions and often health cover, so most freelancers aim to charge 25–40% more than that. At your billable hours you currently keep $40.51 per hour worked.

How self-employed income is taxed in Canada

You pay income tax on your net business income at the same federal and provincial rates as employees. The big difference is CPP: you pay both the employee and the employer share, 11.9% of earnings between $3,500 and $74,600 (up to $8,460.90 in 2026), plus 8% CPP2 on earnings from $74,600 to $85,000 (up to $832). The employer half is deductible, so it reduces your income tax.

You don’t pay EI unless you opt in to the EI special benefits program for the self-employed.
