Canada Personal Income Tax Calculator (2025 & 2026)

This tool is designed for Canadian tax and account rules.

Version 1.1 · Last verified: May 2026

Calculate income tax by province and type of income. This calculator allows you to estimate federal and provincial income tax, calculate average and marginal income tax rates, estimate how much income tax you owe or your tax refund, see how deductions affect your taxable income and tax rate, and calculate your after-tax income (take-home pay).

It supports employment income, business income, dividends, capital gains, CPP and EI contributions, and common deductions. Enter your numbers to see how your income is taxed in Canada.

No opinions. No hidden assumptions. Just arithmetic.

Inputs

Included in income for federal and provincial tax. This calculator does not compute self-employment CPP/QPP (lines 22200 / 31000) in the current version.
RRSP deductions are limited by your available contribution room. RRSP limit details ↓
Enter the FHSA deduction you are claiming for this tax year. Contribution room and carry-forward are not calculated here.
Enter the sum of federal and provincial or territorial income tax you have already paid for this year—for example from income tax amounts on your T4, RL-1, or other slips, or from instalments you remitted. Do not include CPP or EI; those are estimated separately and count only toward Total tax burden. Do not enter RRSP/FHSA amounts here (those are deductions above, not tax paid).

Important Note:

These calculations are before individual deductions you may be eligible to claim, such as: home office expenses, medical expenses, charitable donations, tuition and education credits, childcare expenses, moving expenses, and other personal tax credits or deductions that may reduce your taxable income or tax payable.

This calculator cannot determine which deductions apply to you. If you have an estimate of your total deductions, you may include it below to see the impact on the results. Always confirm final numbers with your accountant or tax professional.

Optional: Enter your estimated total of additional deductions (medical, home office, donations, etc.)

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I contribute to an RRSP?

Your RRSP contribution limit is generally 18% of your prior-year earned income, up to an annual maximum set by the CRA, plus any unused room carried forward (and adjusted for pension contributions).

For the 2026 tax year, the annual RRSP deduction limit for earned income is capped at $33,810 (the dollar maximum on new RRSP room arising from the prior year’s income).

Your exact available contribution room appears on your CRA Notice of Assessment.

This calculator accepts an RRSP deduction input; it does not compute contribution room; it does not model CRA penalties or over-contribution rules.

Why might my results differ from the CRA?

This calculator models federal/provincial brackets, common credits, and payroll contributions. It does not include every possible credit/deduction/special rule.

Examples of items not included: medical expenses, tuition credits, charitable donations, pension adjustments, prior-year losses, and CRA-specific rounding methods.

Does this calculator provide tax advice?

No. This calculator provides arithmetic only. No recommendations. Educational/comparative use.
