Annual tax estimator — sources & assumptions

This is an annual 2026 income tax estimate, not payroll withholding. Brackets and credits use full-year annual rules (CRA T4127 Jan 2026 / T4032). BC uses the 5.6% annual lowest rate — not the 6.14% July payroll catch-up rate.

  • Federal BPA phase-out above $181,440
  • Provincial basic personal credits for all 13 jurisdictions
  • Ontario surtax, Ontario Health Premium, and tax reduction
  • Quebec: federal K2Q credits for base QPP, EI, and QPIP; provincial premiums reflected in Quebec basic personal amount
  • Enhanced CPP/QPP (first additional + CPP2) deducted from taxable income
  • Canada Employment Amount on eligible employment income
  • Capital gains: 50% inclusion (2026 enacted rate)
  • Eligible dividends: 38% gross-up with federal + provincial DTCs
  • Not modeled: most other credits, Top-Up Tax Credit (large medical/tuition claims), non-eligible dividends
