What is take-home pay in Canada?
Take-home pay — also called net pay — is the amount that actually reaches your bank account after mandatory deductions. The gap between your gross salary and your take-home is federal income tax, provincial income tax, CPP and EI (or QPP, QPIP and reduced EI in Quebec).
What is deducted from a Canadian paycheque?
Four deductions apply to most employees:
- Federal income tax — 14% to 33% after the $16,452 basic personal amount.
- Provincial income tax — your province's brackets and basic personal amount.
- CPP — 5.95% on earnings between $3,500 and $74,600.
- Employment Insurance — 1.63% up to $68,900.
How much is take-home pay by pay period?
Your annual net pay is spread over your pay cycle. Bi-weekly pay means 26 cheques a year, semi-monthly means 24, and monthly means 12. The calculator shows your net in each frequency so you can budget rent and bills accurately. Some bi-weekly years have 27 pay periods, which slightly lowers each cheque.
Does take-home pay change by province?
Yes. Each province sets its own income tax, and Quebec uses QPP/QPIP instead of CPP/EI. The same gross salary can leave a different net depending on where you live — the comparison chart above shows take-home across provinces for the same income.
How can I increase my take-home pay?
Contributing to an RRSP lowers your taxable income and raises your net (use the RRSP field in the calculator to see the effect). Filing an accurate TD1 form avoids over-withholding. Once you pass the CPP and EI annual maximums later in the year, those deductions stop and your net per cheque rises.
