Canada layers federal income tax on top of provincial income tax — Quebec, Ontario, BC, and Alberta all differ significantly. This estimate covers only the federal portion plus CPP (Canada Pension Plan) and EI (Employment Insurance), capped at the yearly maximum pensionable earnings. Add 10–25% provincial tax for a complete picture.
