Quebec income tax calculator

Quebec 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 Quebec provincial tax (BPA credits; simplified rules — not a full T1). RSU CPP is incremental vs salary + bonus; bonus and RSU tax use withholding proxies.

Cross-check Québec tax and contributions with the official disposable income calculator (Ministère des Finances du Québec). That tool adds family, benefits, and drug-plan assumptions beyond this employment calculator.

Québec: QPP, reduced EI, QPIP, and 16.5% federal abatement (T4032-QC) are modelled. Validate against Finances Québec — disposable income; credits and rounding may still differ from Revenu Québec.

True tax vs withheld · filing season

True income tax (all T4 income)

$78,427

Est. Tax withheld

$79,780

Likely refund +$1,354

True tax is year-end liability including your payroll RRSP deduction (line 20800–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 that RRSP reduction—so payroll RRSP is a common refund driver when withholding lags the deduction—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).
