Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How accurate is the Payroll Calculator?

Our calculator uses the latest Canadian tax rates and payroll deductions, ensuring high accuracy. However, actual take-home pay may vary slightly due to additional employer deductions, benefit plans, or company-specific payroll policies.

2. Does this payroll calculator include overtime and bonuses?

Yes! Simply add your overtime earnings or bonuses to the gross income field, and the calculator will apply taxes and deductions accordingly.

3. What’s the difference between CPP and QPP?

If you live outside Quebec, your paycheque includes Canada Pension Plan (CPP) deductions. If you work in Quebec, your payroll deductions include the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) instead. The calculator automatically applies the correct one based on your province.

4. How do I calculate payroll taxes if I’m self-employed?

If you’re self-employed, you’re responsible for both the employee and employer portions of CPP/QPP and other deductions. Use our Self-Employed Tax Calculator for a more tailored estimate.
