Why does take-home pay change by province?
Take-home pay changes by province because each one sets its own tax brackets and credits on top of federal tax. Federal tax, CPP and EI work the same way everywhere, except in Quebec, which has its own pension plan (QPP) and parental insurance and gives residents a federal tax reduction. The territories, British Columbia and Alberta tend to leave more in your pocket at most incomes, while the Atlantic provinces and Quebec take more. See the brackets for every province for the rates behind this, how Quebec taxes differ, and the where are taxes lowest calculator for a ranking.
