Pay Frequency (affects schedule)
How to use this calculator
Enter your annual gross income and select the province where you work (Ontario or Quebec). Click Calculate to refresh the results, which show net pay after federal/provincial tax, CPP, and EI. Use the pay frequency selector to preview how that annual net pay would be distributed across typical pay periods.
Methodology
The model applies the 2026 federal tax rate (15%) to the entire gross income, adds the selected provincial bracket (Ontario 5.05%, Quebec 15%), and then deducts statutory CPP (5.25%) and EI (1.58%) premiums. This mirrors the simple structure of the CRA payroll deduction calculator.
- Net income is presented annually so you can compare the end-of-year take-home pay.
- The pay frequency only changes schedule breakdowns, keeping annual deductions fixed for transparency.
- Use the schedule to guide budgeting conversations—download the CSV to continue analyzing the data offline.
