Whether you are calculating your federal and provincial income tax, working out GST or HST for a client invoice, estimating your RRSP contribution and tax savings, planning Canadian mortgage repayments or checking your take-home pay after CPP and EI deductions, our free Canadian calculators give you instant answers based on the latest CRA 2025 tax rates. Every tool covers all 10 provinces and 3 territories and is updated each January when the CRA publishes new brackets and thresholds.

Canada Income Tax Calculator: Federal and Provincial Rates 2025

Canada uses a dual-layer income tax system. You pay both federal income tax to the CRA and separate provincial or territorial income tax to your province. Federal tax rates range from 15% on income above the basic personal amount up to 33% on income exceeding $220,000. Each province then applies its own progressive tax rates on top of the federal amount, which is why two people earning the same income in different provinces can end up with very different after-tax pay.

For example, a person earning $80,000 in Ontario pays a combined federal and provincial tax rate that is significantly higher than the same earner in Alberta, which has no provincial sales tax and lower provincial income tax rates. Our Canada income tax calculator accounts for both federal and provincial rates so you see your true take-home pay based on where you live.

In addition to income tax, most employed Canadians also contribute to the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Employment Insurance (EI). In 2025, the maximum CPP contribution for employees is $3,867.50, calculated at 5.95% on earnings between $3,500 and $71,300. EI premiums are $1,049.12 at the 2025 employee rate of 1.66% on insurable earnings up to $63,200.

Canada GST/HST Calculator: All Provinces and Territories

Canada's sales tax system is one of the most complex in the world because rates and structures vary significantly by province. Alberta, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut charge only the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) at 5%. Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, PEI and most Atlantic provinces use a Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) that combines federal and provincial tax into a single rate. Ontario's HST is 13%, while the Atlantic provinces charge 15% (with Nova Scotia reducing its rate to 14% from April 1, 2025).

British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba charge GST plus a separate Provincial Sales Tax (PST). Quebec uses GST plus the Quebec Sales Tax (QST) at 9.975%, calculated on the price before GST, giving a combined effective rate of approximately 14.975%. You must register for GST/HST when your taxable revenue exceeds $30,000 in any four consecutive calendar quarters. Once registered, you collect tax on your sales and can claim input tax credits on business expenses.

Canada RRSP Calculator: Tax Savings and Retirement Planning

The Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is one of Canada's most powerful tax planning tools. Contributions to your RRSP reduce your taxable income for the year, meaning you save tax at your marginal rate on every dollar contributed. The 2025 RRSP contribution limit is $32,490 or 18% of your previous year's earned income, whichever is lower. Unused contribution room carries forward from previous years and can be used in any future year.

For example, if you earn $90,000 in Ontario and contribute $15,000 to your RRSP, your taxable income drops to $75,000. At a combined federal and Ontario marginal rate of approximately 43%, this $15,000 contribution could save you around $6,450 in taxes in the current year. Investments inside your RRSP grow tax-free until withdrawal, typically in retirement when your marginal rate is lower.

Canada Mortgage Calculator: CMHC and Amortization

Canadian mortgage rules differ from other countries in several important ways. If your down payment is less than 20% of the purchase price, you are required to purchase mortgage default insurance through CMHC, Sagen or Canada Guaranty. This insurance protects the lender if you default and adds a premium of between 2.8% and 4% of the total mortgage to your loan balance.

The maximum amortization period for insured Canadian mortgages is 25 years, though uninsured mortgages can be amortized over up to 30 years. Canadian mortgage rates are typically quoted as a rate that compounds semi-annually rather than monthly, which means the effective rate is slightly different from what is advertised. Our Canada mortgage calculator uses the correct Canadian compounding formula to give you accurate monthly payment estimates.
