Alberta Income Tax Calculator
Take-home pay after federal tax, Alberta provincial tax, CPP, and EI, 2026 rates.
Annual deductions:
- Federal tax: $6,193
- Alberta tax: $2,978
- CPP: $3,362
- EI: $978
2026 federal and provincial/territorial brackets, plus CPP (5.95% to the $74,600 YMPE, plus CPP2 at 4% up to $85,000) and EI (1.63% up to $68,900). Quebec residents actually pay QPP and QPIP instead of CPP/EI and receive a federal abatement — the Quebec figures here are an approximation, not the QPP/QPIP calculation. The federal Basic Personal Amount's phase-out above $181,440 isn't modeled. Not tax advice — confirm with the CRA or a tax professional.
