How is salary taxed in Canada?

Canada has a two-tier income tax system: federal income tax plus provincial income tax. This calculator covers federal tax only — provincial rates vary significantly and can add 5% to 25% depending on your province.

The Basic Personal Amount of $15,705 means you pay no federal income tax on your first $15,705 of income. Federal rates then range from 15% to 33%.

Employees also pay CPP (Canada Pension Plan) at 5.95% up to a maximum of $3,867.50, and EI (Employment Insurance) at 1.066% up to $1,049.12 per year.

Provincial comparison: Alberta (flat 10%, no PST) delivers the highest take-home pay. Quebec (top provincial rate 25.75%) produces the lowest. Ontario and BC fall in the middle. The combined federal + provincial marginal rate reaches 53.5% in Quebec, 53.3% in Ontario, and 48% in Alberta for high earners.

No — this shows federal income tax only. Provincial tax is additional and varies by province. Ontario adds approximately 5–13%, BC 5–20%, Quebec 14–25%, and Alberta a flat 10%. For a full picture, add 8–15% to the federal rate shown depending on your province.
The BPA is $15,705 for 2025 — a non-refundable credit that effectively means you pay no federal income tax on the first $15,705. For high earners (income above $173,205), the BPA gradually reduces to $14,156 at the top rate.
CPP (Canada Pension Plan, 5.95% up to $3,867.50/year) funds your retirement pension — you receive CPP payments from age 60 onwards. EI (Employment Insurance, 1.066% up to $1,049.12/year) funds unemployment benefits if you lose your job. You cannot opt out of either.
Alberta consistently has the lowest combined income tax due to its flat 10% provincial rate, no PST (provincial sales tax), and no payroll taxes. On $75,000 gross, Albertans take home approximately $57,500 combined vs about $51,000 in Quebec.
The federal return deadline is 30 April for most taxpayers (15 June for self-employed, though any balance owing is still due 30 April). Late filing incurs a 5% penalty plus 1% per month for up to 12 months on any balance owed.
The RRSP limit for 2025 is 18% of your previous year's earned income, up to a maximum of $31,560. RRSP contributions reduce your taxable income dollar-for-dollar, making them especially valuable for those in the 26%+ federal brackets. Contributions must be made by 1 March 2026 to claim against 2025 income.
The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) allows you to invest and withdraw money completely tax-free. The 2025 contribution limit is $7,000. Unlike RRSP contributions, TFSA contributions don't reduce your taxable income, but all growth and withdrawals are completely tax-free — making it ideal for medium-term savings goals.
