Waypoint Budget helps you create a budget using your actual after-tax income.
Start Budgeting FreeNote: This calculator provides estimates. Does not include CPP, EI, or tax credits. Consult a tax professional for accurate filing.
Enter your gross annual income and province, and the calculator runs it through the 2026 federal brackets above plus your province's own brackets. Both governments tax the same income, in layers: the first dollars at the lowest rate, and only the dollars above each threshold at the next rate. It covers Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick.
It deliberately leaves things out so the math stays transparent. It does not apply the basic personal amount ($16,452 federally in 2026, with a separate provincial amount), CPP and EI premiums, RRSP deductions, or credits such as tuition or medical expenses. The basic personal amount alone removes roughly $2,300 of federal tax for most people, so treat the result as the ceiling on income tax, not the final bill. For a take-home estimate that includes CPP and EI, use the budget calculator.
Your marginal rate is the tax on your next dollar. Your effective rate is total tax divided by total income, and it is always lower because your early dollars were taxed in the cheaper brackets. Take the calculator's default, $75,000 in Ontario. The marginal rate is 20.5% federal plus 9.15% provincial, so 29.65%. But the total tax before credits is about $16,400, an effective rate near 22%.
The marginal rate is the one to use for decisions. An RRSP contribution saves tax at your marginal rate, and a raise is taxed at it. Moving into a higher bracket never costs you money overall, because only the income above the threshold is taxed at the higher rate.
Your employer also deducts CPP, EI, and often benefits, union dues, or pension contributions. CPP and EI together take roughly 7.5% of earnings up to their annual maximums. Credits you claim on your TD1 form pull the other way and reduce the tax withheld.
In effect, yes. The basic personal amount is a non-refundable credit that cancels the tax on your first $16,452 of income federally in 2026, and each province has its own amount. This calculator does not apply it, which is why the result is higher than what you will owe.
Every province sets its own brackets and rates on the same taxable income the federal government uses, and the CRA collects both on one return. Quebec is the exception: it collects its own tax through Revenu Québec, and Quebec residents receive a federal abatement of 16.5% of basic federal tax that this calculator does not apply.
Returns for the 2026 tax year are due April 30, 2027 for most people. Self-employed Canadians and their spouses have until June 15, 2027 to file, but any balance owing is still due April 30. Our tax season budget plan covers how to set money aside if you expect to owe.
No. Only the dollars above the bracket threshold are taxed at the higher rate. Everything below it stays taxed exactly as before, so a raise always leaves you with more after tax.
