Assumptions in this estimate
  • Take-home pay assumes a single person with no pension, retirement or other pre-tax deductions.
  • Assumes employment income is your only income and you claim the basic personal amount and the Canada employment amount.
  • Tax is your estimated annual liability spread evenly across pay periods; your employer’s withholding (based on your TD1) can differ slightly.
  • CPP and EI are spread evenly too. In practice they stop once you reach the yearly maximum (EI at $68,900 of earnings, CPP at $74,600 and CPP2 at $85,000), so higher earners’ last paycheques of the year are larger.
  • From July to December 2026, employers in British Columbia, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island use catch-up rates for mid-year changes, so those paycheques differ slightly; the yearly total is the same.
  • The Canada Workers Benefit and other refundable benefits you claim on your return are not included.
  • The temporary federal top-up credit (2025–2030) only affects people with very large non-refundable credits and is not included.
  • The Ontario LIFT credit for lower-income workers is claimed on your tax return and is not included.

How the calculator works

  1. Yearly pay before tax: your hourly rate × hours a week × weeks a year, plus overtime hours at 1.5× your rate.
  2. Take-home pay: we run that yearly pay through the same federal and provincial tax, CPP and EI rules as our income tax calculator.

For RRSP contributions through payroll, use the income tax calculator, which also accepts hourly pay.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert an hourly wage to a yearly salary?

Multiply your hourly wage by the hours you work each week, then by the weeks you work each year. At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, that's 2,080 hours, so $25 an hour is $25 × 2,080 = $52,000 a year before tax.

How is overtime paid in Canada?

Overtime rules are set by each province and territory. Most pay at least 1.5 times your regular rate after a set number of hours, such as 40 or 44 a week, and some also count daily hours. Enter your overtime hours and the calculator pays them at 1.5×.

What if I take unpaid time off?

Lower the weeks a year. Most employees in Canada get paid vacation, so if your vacation is paid, keep it at 52.

How much is $20 an hour a year in Canada?

Working 40 hours a week all year, $20 an hour is $41,600 a year, $3,467 a month or $1,600 every two weeks before tax.
