Assumptions
Uses the 2026 federal brackets and the 2026 Quebec brackets, with the federal and provincial basic personal amounts, the Canada employment amount, and credits for your QPP and EI premiums — the same method as CRA’s payroll formulas. QPP is 6.3% up to $74,600 plus 4% to $85,000; EI is 1.30% up to $68,900. Quebec runs its own system, all applied here: federal tax is reduced by the 16.5% Quebec abatement, QPP replaces CPP (6.3%), EI is charged at the lower Quebec rate (1.30%) and QPIP premiums (0.43%) are added. The Quebec deduction for workers (6% of pay, up to $1,450) is included. Other credits you may claim are not included. Check your paystub for exact figures.
