Figures are planning estimates (tax year 2026 reference), not official payroll from the CRA.
Federal + New Brunswick tax
We estimate federal tax using simplified CRA-style brackets and a basic personal amount, then add a simplified New Brunswick provincial/territorial tax estimate. New Brunswick combines Canadian federal tax with provincial or territorial tax. CPP and EI (or Quebec approximations where relevant) are estimated and prorated to your pay frequency.
CPP and EI
CPP (including a simplified CPP2 component above YMPE where applicable) and EI premiums are estimated from annual pay and prorated to your pay period. Quebec-style contribution systems are approximated on the Quebec page.
Why your stub may differ
