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.
