Why the gross needed for take-home varies by province in Canada
British Columbia has progressive provincial income tax (top rate 20.50%). To achieve the same take-home as in a lower-tax province (e.g. Alberta or Nunavut), you need a higher gross in British Columbia. Federal tax and CPP/EI apply everywhere; provincial rates differ, so the salary needed for a target take-home is higher in higher-tax provinces. Use the calculator above for your desired annual take-home (CAD), filing status, and number of children.
