Provincial reconfiguration agreements are in place for AB, NU and QC, which may mean that when actual CWB factors are known at the end of 2025, the amounts for these provinces will change.

CPP/QPP contributions and EI premiums are included in taxes.
Negative amounts are refundable taxes paid to the taxpayer.
The Canada Carbon Rebate is not included.
QC total tax is net of the refundable federal tax abatement.
QC provincial tax includes progressive health contribution and prescription drug premiums (for both spouses in married person case).

The tax rates used are as known on July 27, 2025.
