Why the gross needed for take-home varies by province in Canada
Alberta has progressive provincial income tax (top rate 15.00%). To achieve the same take-home as in a lower-tax province (e.g. Alberta or Nunavut), you need a higher gross in Alberta. Federal tax and CPP/EI apply everywhere; provincial rates differ, so the salary needed for a target take-home is higher in higher-tax provinces. Use the calculator above for your desired annual take-home (CAD), filing status, and number of children.

This page uses current Alberta provincial brackets. For CPP and EI amounts only, use our CPP & EI Calculator Canada. For RRSP tax savings in Alberta, use our RRSP Calculator Canada Alberta.
