Estimate Canadian net pay by province from salary or hourly income, including federal tax, provincial tax, CPP, EI, RRSP deductions, and per-pay results.
What this calculator does
This calculator is for Canadian employees comparing salary offers, hourly work, RRSP payroll deductions, or pay frequency. It estimates gross pay, income tax, CPP, EI, and net pay for the province or territory you choose.
How to use it
Choose salary or hourly mode, select your province, and match the pay frequency to your employer. Add RRSP contributions or recurring deductions only if they come directly off each paycheque.
Inputs explained
Salary mode annualizes the entered salary. Hourly mode multiplies hourly rate by weekly hours and 52 weeks.
Province changes the estimated provincial or territorial income-tax portion.
This divides annual gross, tax, CPP, EI, and deductions into weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly pay.
RRSP and other deductions are modeled per pay period and reduce the cash that lands in your account.
Example calculation
With the current inputs, the estimated annual gross pay is $75,000 and estimated net pay is $2,165.45 per pay. Use this as a planning estimate, then compare it with your employer's actual payroll details.
How to read your result
The headline net-pay number is the estimated amount after modeled income tax, CPP, EI, RRSP contributions, and other deductions. If you are building a savings plan, use net pay with the compound interest calculator or compare RRSP contributions with the RRSP calculator.
Common mistakes
Last updated: April 2, 2026
The calculator annualizes salary or hourly income, subtracts modeled payroll RRSP contributions from taxable income, estimates federal and provincial income tax, then applies CPP, CPP2, EI, and other per-pay deductions.
