How Canada taxes income

Canada uses a two-level income tax system. You pay federal income tax to the CRA (14%–33% in 2026), then each province adds its own tax. In Ontario that means rates from 5.05% up to 13.16%, plus a surtax for higher earners and the annual health premium. On top of income tax, employees pay CPP contributions (5.95% up to C$74,600 plus a second 4% CPP2 tier up to C$85,000) and EI premiums (1.63% up to C$68,900 of insurable earnings).

The result is that the same C$100,000 salary leaves you with significantly different amounts in Alberta (low provincial rates, no surtax) versus Quebec (higher rates, but offset by the federal abatement and lower childcare costs). Ontario sits in the middle — which is why it is the most useful baseline for cross-country comparisons.
