About This Calculator

v1.2Updated: December 2025

Our comprehensive Visual Canadian Tax Calculator provides accurate federal and provincial tax calculations for the 2025 tax year with an interactive Sankey diagram showing exactly how your income flows through the tax system. Whether you're an employee calculating your personal income tax, a self-employed individual, or a financial professional modeling client scenarios, this calculator delivers precise results based on current CRA tax rates and brackets. The calculator supports all Canadian provinces and territories, accounting for their unique tax structures, credits, and deductions. It models employment income, self-employment income, investment income (dividends, capital gains, interest), and RRSP contributions. Our advanced Marginal Effective Tax Rate (METR) analysis goes beyond simple tax brackets to show how benefit clawbacks—including Canada Child Benefit (CCB), Old Age Security (OAS), and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS)—affect your true marginal rate on the next dollar earned. This is essential for retirees and families where benefit phase-outs can push effective rates above 50%. Understanding your tax obligation is crucial for financial planning, retirement strategy, and making informed decisions about RRSP vs TFSA contributions and income splitting strategies within families.
