Salary and payroll calculators

Every one of these runs on the same tax engine and the same published rules, so the answers agree with each other. They all work in your browser, and nothing you type is sent anywhere.

What do I actually take home?

The full breakdown of a salary: federal and provincial tax, pension contributions and employment insurance, with optional bonus and RRSP contributions.

What salary do I need to take home a set amount?

Works backwards from the take-home pay you want to the gross salary that produces it.

What is a raise actually worth?

How much of a pay rise survives tax and contributions, a year, a month and a fortnight at a time.

How much of a bonus will I keep?

The tax on a bonus worked out as the difference between a year with it and a year without, rather than a flat rate.

What does my hourly rate come to a year?

Turns an hourly rate into annual, monthly and biweekly pay, before and after deductions.

What is my salary an hour?

Turns a salary into its hourly equivalent, and shows what that is once deductions come off.

What is overtime worth after tax?

Adds overtime hours at a multiplier and shows what reaches your bank account.

What does an RRSP contribution save me?

The income tax difference a contribution makes, at the rates it actually spans rather than at your top rate.

Is the contract rate better than the salary?

Compares an employee package against contractor revenue and finds the hourly rate at which they match.
