Why the gross needed to take home $100,000 varies by province
Federal income tax, CPP (Canada Pension Plan), and EI (Employment Insurance) apply in every province. Provincial tax rates differ—higher in provinces like Quebec and Nova Scotia, lower in Alberta and Nunavut. So to take home $100,000 in a high-tax province you need more gross than in a low-tax province. The calculator above uses current federal and provincial brackets; select your province and filing status for the exact gross (CAD) you need.
