How it's calculated

  1. CPP: 5.95% of earnings between $3,500 and $74,600, plus CPP2 of 4% up to $85,000. Quebec uses QPP instead.
  2. EI: 1.63% of insurable earnings up to $68,900 (1.3% in Quebec).
  3. Federal tax: 2026 brackets on taxable income, minus non-refundable credits at 14% for the basic personal amount (up to $16,452), the Canada employment amount, CPP and EI.
  4. Provincial tax: the province's brackets minus its own credits at its lowest rate. Quebec residents get the 16.5% federal abatement.

Not included: provincial low-income reductions, RRSP deductions, union dues and other personal credits.
