    Canadian Income Tax Calculator 2025Federal + provincial dual engine

    Free, no-signup calculator for Canadian income tax, CPP/QPP, EI and (where applicable) QPIP. Pick your province or territory, enter your income, and see federal and provincial tax broken down side by side for the 2025 tax year.

    Guidance, not advice. This calculator runs the rules as published, it doesn't assess your circumstances. Your actual tax may be affected by factors it doesn't cover (allowances used elsewhere, reliefs, marriage allowance, scheme-specific adjustments). Always seek financial or tax advice from your accountant, or contact CRA. Read our editorial scope →

    How we calculate your tax

    Federal tax

    Five brackets from 14.5% to 33%. Your Basic Personal Amount ($16,129) starts to phase down at $177,882 of net income and bottoms out at $14,538 by $253,414. Credits are applied at the 14.5% lowest-bracket rate.

    Provincial tax

    Provincial tax is calculated independently using each province's own brackets and BPA. Ontario adds a surtax on provincial tax above $5,710/$7,307 plus the Ontario Health Premium. Québec residents get a 16.5% federal abatement and pay QPP instead of CPP.

    Dividends and capital gains

    Eligible dividends are grossed up 38% with a 15.02% federal DTC; non-eligible dividends are grossed up 15% with a 9.03% federal DTC. Provincial DTCs are applied on top. Capital gains use the 50% inclusion rate.

    CPP / QPP and EI

    Self-employed individuals pay both the employee and employer portions of CPP (or QPP in Québec). CPP2/QPP2 applies on earnings between the YMPE ($71,300) and YAMPE ($81,200). EI is optional for self-employed Canadians. QPIP is mandatory in Québec for self-employment income over $2,000.
