British Columbia income tax calculator
British Columbia is pre-selected below; you can switch provinces anytime. Year-end CPP (incl. CPP2) on pensionable employment (including RSU value), EI on salary and cash bonus only, plus federal and provincial tax (BPA credits; simplified rules — not a full T1). RSU CPP is incremental vs salary + bonus; bonus and RSU tax use withholding proxies.

After CPP, CPP2, EI (insurable pay), and income tax. Net (annual, all in) includes bonus, RSU, and the filing-season adjustment when modelled year-end tax differs from estimated withholding. A salary-only take-home line appears under the headline when it differs from this total.

Illustrative solo CCPC: same cash as your salary + bonus, no expenses, small-business rate, non-eligible dividends from profit after corporate tax. Lower “Dividend payout this year” to retain earnings and defer personal tax; dividends have no CPP/EI. Not tax advice—PSB, GST/HST, reasonable salary, and much else are out of scope.
RSU, payroll RRSP, and capital gains are left out of this side-by-side so it only reflects salary + cash bonus.
If you are a personal services business (common when you are an “incorporated employee” with few staff), corporate tax is much higher and expense deductions are limited — this path would not apply.

True tax vs withheld · filing season
True income tax (modelled year-end)
CA$19,090.35
Est. Tax withheld
CA$19,090.35
Roughly balanced CA$0.00
True tax is year-end liability including your payroll RRSP deduction (line 20800 style) and FHSA deduction (line 20805 style). Employer RRSP deposits are not added separately—common payroll nets the taxable benefit with an offsetting RRSP deduction on the same stub. Estimated withheld uses salary+bonus tax without those deduction effects—so RRSP/FHSA contributions are common refund drivers when withholding lags—plus the CRA bonus step-up and RSU marginal proxy. The gap is the filing-season adjustment (refund if negative). Positive "owing" means estimated withholding is still below modelled year-end tax (possible balance due at filing).
Enter totals from all slips for the tax year (every employer combined). This compares what you actually paid through payroll or instalments to this scenario’s modelled annual income tax, CPP or QPP, EI, and QPIP — a rough read for job changes that can over-withhold EI, CPP, or tax.
What you paid (optional)

Enter at least one withheld or instalment amount above to see an indicative surplus or shortfall for those items.
Not tax advice. Your real balance depends on the full T1 or Revenu Québec return, every income source, RRSP/FHSA room, multiple employers, and exact CPP/EI/QPIP rules.
