What is included. Federal and provincial tax brackets, basic personal amounts (with the federal phase-down between $181,440 and $258,482 of net income), the Canada employment amount, CPP/QPP and EI/QPIP credits, the enhanced CPP deduction, the 16.5% Quebec abatement, and Ontario's surtax, low-income tax reduction and Health Premium.
Refund or balance owing. The result compares the tax you owe for 2026 with what you already paid: tax deducted at source (line 43700), instalments, and any CPP or EI overpaid on your T4 slips. Quebec residents file a federal return with CRA and a provincial return with Revenu Québec, so each is shown separately. Provincial donation credits use the lowest and top provincial rates as an approximation; tuition is credited federally only.
Not included. Dividend tax credits, spouse/dependant amounts, disability and caregiver amounts, BC and other low-income reductions, Alberta's supplemental credit, and refundable benefits (GST/HST credit, CCB).
Results are approximate, for illustration only, and are not tax advice. Check your return with CRA, Revenu Québec or a tax professional before filing.
2026 payroll figures. CPP 5.95% on earnings $3,500–$74,600 (QPP 6.40%), CPP2/QPP2 4% on $74,600–$85,000, EI 1.63% to $68,900 (1.30% in Quebec), QPIP 0.430% to $103,000. Self-employed people pay both halves of CPP and no EI.
