Focus: free Canadian tax calculators for employees, self-employed workers, and employers
Federal and Provincial Income Tax
Canadian income tax is a combination of federal tax and provincial or territorial tax. The federal brackets start at 15 percent on the first $55,867 and climb to 33 percent on income above $235,675. Each province adds its own brackets on top. Our Canadian income tax calculator lets you select your province and calculates both levels simultaneously, showing your combined marginal rate and total tax owing.
CPP and QPP for Self-Employed Canadians
Self-employed Canadians pay both the employer and employee portions of Canada Pension Plan contributions, for a combined rate of 11.9 percent (or 12.8 percent for QPP in Quebec). Contributions apply on pensionable earnings between $3,500 and $68,500, with CPP2 adding 8 percent on earnings up to $73,200. Our calculator handles both CPP and QPP, including the deductible half you can claim on your T1 return.
Canadian Employer Payroll
Running payroll in Canada means calculating CPP employer contributions, Employment Insurance premiums, and provincial income tax withholding. Our payroll calculator produces a complete pay stub breakdown showing gross pay, each deduction line, and net pay. It covers all provinces and territories with their respective premium rates.
