Gross to net, for every Canadian province

Enter a gross salary and province to see CPP, CPP2, EI, and federal + provincial income tax, and what actually lands in the bank, per pay period and per year. Quebec gets QPP, QPIP, the reduced EI rate, and the federal abatement.

  • Net pay per pay period and annual, all 13 provinces and territories
  • CPP/CPP2 + EI + federal and provincial income tax in one number
  • Quebec done right: QPP, QPIP, reduced EI, 16.5% federal abatement
  • Effective deduction rate so you can see where the money goes

Covers all 14 Canadian jurisdictions: 10 provinces, 3 territories, and federally regulated employers (Canada Labour Code).

  • Weekly and day-by-day input modes
  • Automatic daily vs weekly "greater-of" logic

Severance Pay Calculator

ESA minimums for every jurisdiction

Calculates statutory pay in lieu of notice under each province's Employment Standards Act, plus Ontario s.64 severance where it applies. Flags common-law reasonable-notice considerations so you know when the ESA floor isn't the whole story.

  • Ontario s.64 statutory severance with payroll + mass-termination toggles
  • Bardal common-law disclaimers built in

CPP, CPP2 & EI Calculator

The math most Canadian payroll spreadsheets get wrong

Source deductions that are purely a function of gross pay and province: CPP, CPP2, and EI for Canada, plus QPP, QPP2, QPIP, and reduced EI for Quebec. Pro-rates the $3,500 basic exemption the way CRA requires, and flags the pay period where CPP2 kicks in.

  • CPP2 at 4% (not 5.95%), the mistake employers keep making
  • Quebec handled properly: QPP + QPP2 + QPIP + reduced EI
  • Per-pay-period and annual totals for employee and employer
  • Confirmed YMPE and YAMPE for the year

Stat Holiday Pay Calculator

Four formulas, fourteen jurisdictions, the right one per province

Statutory holiday pay done right for every Canadian jurisdiction. Ontario/Quebec/federal use 1/20 of a 4-week lookback, Alberta/Saskatchewan/Manitoba use 5%, BC uses an average-day rule, and the Atlantic provinces use a regular day's pay. Calculator picks the correct formula automatically.

  • 1/20, 5%, average-day, and regular-day formulas per province
  • Premium rate for employees who actually work the holiday
  • Qualification reminders (last-and-first shift, 30-day rules)
  • Salaried and hourly modes supported

Vacation Pay Calculator

ESA vacation accrual for every Canadian jurisdiction

Vacation pay minimums under each province's Employment Standards Act. Handles Saskatchewan's 3/52 fraction (not 4%), Quebec's 3-year tier bump (not 5), and the long-service tiers that vary from 5 to 15 years across the country. Surfaces the next tenure bump with its dollar impact.

  • Saskatchewan trap flagged explicitly ($1,240/yr gap on $70k)
  • Quebec 3-year bump handled
  • Next-tier preview so you know when to adjust entitlement
  • Source citations for every provincial ESA
