Take-home pay by province
Sorted by take-home pay at $60,000.
Quebec is not included: it runs its own provincial tax return and the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) and QPIP instead of CPP and EI, so these figures would not apply. Use Revenu Québec's tools for Quebec.

Frequently asked questions
Which province has the lowest income tax in Canada?
It depends on your income. At $60,000 the highest take-home pay outside Quebec is in Nunavut ($48,773) and the lowest is in Nova Scotia ($44,726) in 2026. See the table for $100,000 and $150,000.
Why is Quebec not included?
Quebec has its own provincial tax return and uses the QPP and QPIP instead of CPP and EI, so the same method would give wrong results.
Are these numbers exact?
They are estimates for a single employee with only basic credits and no RRSP, pension or other deductions. Use the detailed calculator to add your own deductions and other income.
Estimate only, not tax advice. Figures assume 2026 employment income only, one employer for the full year, a single person under 65 living in the province shown on December 31, with only the basic personal amount, Canada employment amount, CPP and EI credits. They exclude RRSP and FHSA deductions, pension plans, benefits, union dues and other credits, so your payslip or tax return can differ. Calculated with our income tax calculator using 2026 CRA rates (checked November 2, 2026).
