Formula Used

Where Tax Rate is the combined federal and provincial tax rate for your filing status.
The calculator applies the following tax rates for 2023:
| Income Bracket | Federal Rate | Provincial Rate | Combined Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0 - $49,020 | 15% | 5.05% | 20.05% |
| $49,021 - $98,040 | 20.5% | 9.15% | 29.65% |
| $98,041 - $151,212 | 26% | 11.16% | 37.16% |
| $151,213 - $220,000 | 29% | 12.16% | 41.16% |
| Over $220,000 | 33% | 13.16% | 46.16% |
The calculator also accounts for Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Employment Insurance (EI) deductions:
- CPP: 5.95% of earnings up to $63,400
- EI: 1.66% of earnings up to $57,400
Example Calculation
Let's calculate the weekly tax for someone earning $60,000 annually as a single filer.
Step 1: Determine Tax Bracket
$60,000 falls in the $49,021 - $98,040 bracket with a combined tax rate of 29.65%.
Step 2: Calculate Annual Tax
$60,000 × 29.65% = $17,790 annual tax
Step 3: Convert to Weekly Tax
$17,790 ÷ 52 weeks = $342.12 weekly tax
Step 4: Account for Deductions
CPP: $60,000 × 5.95% = $3,570
EI: $60,000 × 1.66% = $996
Total deductions: $4,566
Final Weekly Take-Home Pay
($60,000 - $4,566) ÷ 52 = $1,053.27
This example shows a weekly tax of $342.12 and a take-home pay of $1,053.27. The actual amount may vary based on specific deductions and credits.
