Tax year 2026. An estimate for one person earning employment income for the whole year: federal and provincial tax with the basic personal credits, CPP/QPP and EI, and the provincial low-income reductions where they apply. It leaves out refundable credits and benefits, credits that depend on your household (such as the Quebec amount for a person living alone), other deductions and credits, and per-paycheque rounding, so it is not tax advice and may differ from your pay stub or tax return.
