How this estimate works
Uses 2026 federal and provincial/territorial tax brackets and basic personal amounts published by the CRA, the federal lowest rate of 14%, the Canada employment amount, CPP and EI credits (including the deduction for enhanced CPP contributions), tuition, donation and medical expense credits. For Ontario it includes the surtax, the Ontario tax reduction and the Ontario Health Premium; for British Columbia, the BC tax reduction.
Simplifications: provincial credits are limited to the basic personal amount, CPP/EI, tuition (only where the province still offers a tuition credit), donations and medical expenses. Provincial medical thresholds and donation rates are approximated. It does not include the Ontario LIFT credit, refundable credits or benefits, or age, pension and disability amounts. Quebec is not supported.
