# Payroll and Salary Calculators for Canada > 20 free payroll calculators for Canada: take-home pay, deductions, overtime, bonus tax, vacation, severance and job offers by province Canada's payroll and salary hub has 20 free calculators that turn a gross salary into the money that reaches your bank account, for every province and territory and the 2026 tax year. They cover income tax, CPP or QPP and EI, plus overtime, bonuses, vacation and holiday pay, severance and job offer comparisons. Why is a pay stub so much smaller than the salary on the offer letter? Income tax takes a share, so do Canada Pension Plan (CPP) or Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) contributions and Employment Insurance (EI), and some provinces add a payroll charge of their own. The tools below show the gap line by line. ## Which payroll calculator fits your question? ## How much of my salary do I keep after tax? In Canada, take-home pay is gross pay minus federal and provincial income tax, CPP or QPP and EI. The [take-home pay calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/take-home-pay-calculator) does that sum for a salary in your province, by year, month and pay period. Employers and bookkeepers tend to open the [payroll deductions calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/payroll-deductions-calculator) first, and the [CRA payroll page](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/businesses/topics/payroll.html) explains how employers calculate and remit those deductions. Paid by the hour? The [hourly to salary tool](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/hourly-to-salary) turns a wage into weekly and yearly pay. Weighing a move? The [where are taxes lowest in Canada calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/where-are-taxes-lowest) ranks every province and territory for the pay you enter. The [take-home pay preview for next year](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/take-home-pay-2027-preview) states its assumptions for numbers not yet published. A family that hires a caregiver is an employer too, so try the [nanny payroll calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/nanny-payroll-calculator). ## What is a raise, a bonus or a new job really worth? The [net to gross calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/net-to-gross) works backwards from the take-home amount you want to the salary you would have to ask for. The [salary increase calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/salary-increase) shows how much of a raise reaches your account. A bonus is taxed on top of your salary and often loses a bigger share than regular pay, as the [bonus tax calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/bonus-tax) and the [sales commission calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/sales-commission) show. With two offers on the table, the [job offer comparison calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/job-offer-comparison) lines them up after tax, with bonus, benefits, paid days off and commute. If your employer matches pension savings, the [employer RRSP and DPSP match calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/employer-pension-match) shows the free money you leave unclaimed by contributing less than the match. Contractors can turn a day rate into the equal employee salary with the [contractor rate to salary calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/contractor-rate-to-salary), and the [reduced hours pay calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/reduced-hours-pay) prices a four-day week in net pay. ## What do I get paid for overtime, holidays, vacation and notice? Each province and territory sets its own employment standards. The [minimum wage calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/minimum-wage) lists the current rate for each jurisdiction, and the [overtime pay calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/overtime-pay) applies your local threshold and multiplier. For time off, see the [vacation pay](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/vacation-pay) and [public holiday pay](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/holiday-pay) calculators, and the [stat holiday work pay calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/stat-holiday-work-pay) if you are deciding whether to work the day or stay home. After a dismissal, the [severance and termination pay calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/severance-pay) estimates the statutory minimum for your province. That minimum is a floor, and a court might award more. Every tool here uses 2026 rates. Treat the results as estimates for planning, since your employer's payroll system has the last word on each cheque. --- Source: https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary Last updated: 2026-10-01 Independent information site.
