2018 Tax Comparisons Employment Income

Combined Federal/Provincial Income Taxes Payable (Refundable) on Employment Income by Province/Territory

Taxes are net of Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB), and any low income tax reductions/credits.

CPP/QPP contributions and EI premiums are included in taxes.

Negative amounts are refundable taxes paid to the taxpayer.

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).

ON provincial tax includes Ontario Health Premium.

BC provincial tax includes BC MSP premiums, at 2019 rates, because 2019 payments are based on 2018 income.

Taxes reflect 2018 income tax rates as known at May 24, 2019.

You can check the results for any amount of employment income by using our detailed Canadian Tax and RRSP Savings Calculator or our Quebec Tax and RRSP Savings Calculator.

2018 Taxes for a Single Person

At the $10,000 taxable income level, refund of $571 reflects the federal refundable WITB of $1,059, less CPP contributions of $321.75, and less EI premiums of $166.  Refundable amounts in excess of $571 reflect higher WITB for that province (AB, QC), and/or provincial refundable amounts (BC, MB, NT, QC).  At $10,000 of employment income, NU has a much lower WITB of $200, and a cost of living refundable tax credit of $200.

2018 Taxes for Single Income Family, 2 Children Over 6 and Under 17 Years of Age

At the $10,000 taxable income level, refund of $1,262 reflects the federal refundable WITB of $1,750, less CPP contributions of $321.75, and less EI premiums of $166.  Refundable amounts in excess of $1,262 reflect provincial refundable amounts (MB, NT, QC).  Refundable amounts less than $1,262 reflect lower WITB for that province (AB, BC, NU).  QC has lower WITB but this is more than offset by the QC tax credit respecting the work premium.
