What this means

Of every extra $100 you earn, you’d take home about $69. The other 31% is your marginal rate: the rate on a raise, a bonus or overtime.

Across all your pay, only 23% goes to tax and deductions, because the first part of your income is taxed at lower rates. A raise never lowers your take-home pay overall.

Assumptions in this estimate

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.
BC raised its lowest rate from 5.06% to 5.60% in February 2026, back-dated to January 1; this estimate uses the full-year 5.60% rate.
