Primary market: Canada
This page is designed to give a fast, readable estimate without replacing a payslip or payroll system.
Always confirm important figures with your employer, payroll provider, accountant, or tax authority.
Methodology
We estimate federal income tax, CPP, CPP2 where relevant, and EI first.
Provincial income tax is added when the selected province is supported on the site.
The result is shown per paycheck as well as annual, monthly, and weekly equivalents.
Assumptions
The Canada calculator annualizes pay first, applies the relevant tax rules, and then converts the result back to the selected pay frequency.
Recurring deductions are estimated on a per-pay-period basis.
TakeHome Grid provides estimates for informational purposes only and does not replace a payslip or employer payroll system.
Federal, Ontario, and Alberta payroll references reflect CRA 2026 payroll deduction tables.
Canada page supports Ontario, Alberta, and a federal-only fallback estimate for launch. Other provinces can be added later through region overrides.
Worked example
Canada example
Gross pay: CAD 3,200 biweekly
Province: Federal only estimate
Status: Single
The output shows the federal payroll deductions first and then the provincial tax effect when selected.
Disclaimer
TakeHome Grid provides estimates for informational purposes only and does not provide tax, payroll, accounting, or legal advice.
Always verify withholding, deductions, and take-home pay with your employer, payroll software, accountant, or tax authority before making decisions.
Rules, credits, and thresholds can change, so important figures should always be checked against current employer or tax authority information.
