All Canadian calculators use the 2025 tax year (1 January to 31 December 2025). This includes the latest federal and provincial tax brackets, the updated Basic Personal Amount, and the new CPP2 enhanced contribution thresholds.

CPP contributions for employees are calculated at 5.95% on pensionable earnings between the basic exemption ($3,500) and the first earnings ceiling (~$71,300).
