How this is calculated
These figures use the 2026 CRA rates for federal payroll deductions plus New Brunswick's provincial tax brackets. Statutory deductions are computed at the employee-portion rates; employer-side contributions are not shown because they do not affect the employee's take-home.
The income tax figure follows the CRA T4127 periodic-payroll methodology used for source-deduction calculation: gross income runs through federal and provincial brackets, then federal + provincial basic personal amounts and CPP/EIcontributions are credited at each level's bottom-bracket rate.
The calculation assumes the employee claims only the basic TD1 amounts, has no other deductions, and works the full tax year at the stated salary. Non-refundable credits like dependents, tuition, disability, and pension income are not included; those would reduce actual tax further.
