How It Is Worked Out
Federal tax plus provincial tax for Ontario (with its surtax and health premium), British Columbia or Alberta. Other provinces: federal figure only. Credits for the basic personal amount, CPP, EI and the Canada employment amount are included; low-income reductions and other credits are not.
| Taxable income | Rate |
|---|---|
| C$0 to C$58,523 | 14% |
| C$58,524 to C$117,045 | 20.5% |
| C$117,046 to C$181,440 | 26% |
| C$181,441 to C$258,482 | 29% |
| Over C$258,482 | 33% |
Example: C$70,000 a year comes to about C$16,214 in tax and contributions, taking home C$53,786.
Everything else for Canada: accounts, deadlines and where to complain.
