Tax year 2026 · last checked August 18, 2026
Sources
Every figure Salary After Tax uses is transcribed from one of the documents below. There are 9 of them for the 2026 tax year.
This page is generated from the same records the calculation engine reads, so it cannot describe a source the engine does not actually use, and it cannot go stale when a source is replaced. Each entry shows the authority, the document, a link to it, and the date a person last opened that link and checked a figure against it. That date is never backfilled and it is never set to the date a file was edited.
No third-party tax table, aggregator or competing calculator is used as a source for any calculation. Where an authority has not published something usable, this site says so rather than filling the gap from elsewhere. The methodology page sets out where that currently applies and what is done instead.

Which source covers which jurisdiction
Most provinces and territories are covered by the payroll deductions tables the Canada Revenue Agency publishes, which reproduce the rules each jurisdiction legislated. Quebec is the exception: it administers its own income tax, so its rules come from Revenu Québec directly.
If a source has moved or changed
Government pages are reorganised regularly and a link that worked when it was checked can stop working later. If you find a broken link, or a figure here that no longer matches the document it cites, the contact page explains how to report it. A correction that names the authority is checked against that authority and, if the site is wrong, the data is fixed and the verification date updated.
