About Canadian Income Tax
Canada's progressive tax system means you only pay higher rates on the portion of income that falls within each bracket. Both federal and provincial governments levy income tax, and the combined rate varies significantly by province. This calculator uses 2025 federal brackets and approximate 2024/2025 provincial rates. For official calculations, refer to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these tax calculations exact?
This calculator provides estimates based on 2025 federal and provincial tax brackets. It does not account for additional credits, deductions, surtaxes, or clawbacks that may apply to your specific situation. For precise tax filing, consult a tax professional or use CRA-certified software.
What is the basic personal amount?
The basic personal amount (BPA) is a non-refundable tax credit that every Canadian can claim. For 2025, the federal BPA is $16,129. Each province also has its own BPA. Income up to this amount is effectively tax-free at the respective level.
How are CPP and EI calculated?
CPP contributions are 5.95% on employment income between $3,500 and $71,300, with a maximum contribution of $4,034. EI premiums are 1.63% on insurable earnings up to $65,700, with a maximum premium of $1,071. Self-employed individuals may have different rates.
What is the difference between effective and marginal tax rate?
Your marginal tax rate is the rate on your next dollar of income — it applies to the highest bracket you fall into. Your effective tax rate is the average rate across all your income, calculated as total tax divided by total income. The effective rate is always lower than the marginal rate.
