Estimated deductions
A person’s deductions are based on their gross income. Common deductions include federal and provincial income taxes, Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions, Employment Insurance (EI), and employer-provided health benefits. These deductions directly affect how much of your income you take home. Learn how to calculate take-home pay in Alberta.
Annual vs monthly take-home
Annual income is the total amount you earn over a 12-month period and is usually shown in a job offer or employment contract. Monthly take-home pay is the portion of that annual income you receive each month after taxes and deductions.
Monthly income can vary depending on the number of workdays in a month, statutory holidays, unpaid time off, or changes in hours worked. As a result, your monthly take-home pay may not be exactly the same every month, even if your annual salary stays the same.
Why results may vary
Take-home pay results can vary because everyone’s financial situation is different. Factors such as income level, pay frequency, benefits, retirement contributions, and tax credits can all affect how much is deducted from a paycheque.
In addition, payroll systems may calculate deductions slightly differently based on timing, bonuses, overtime, or statutory holidays. For this reason, take-home pay calculators provide estimates, not exact amounts.
