Payroll Deductions Online Calculator

Use the Payroll Deductions Online Calculator (PDOC) to calculate federal, provincial (except for Quebec), and territorial payroll deductions. It will confirm the deductions you include on your official statement of earnings.

You assume the risks associated with using this calculator. The reliability of the calculations produced depends on the accuracy of the information you provide.

The Quebec provincial government administers its provincial income tax, Quebec Pension Plan (QPP), and Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP). To calculate provincial payroll deductions for Quebec, use the WebRAS program from Revenu Quebec.

To limit the risks you take when using PDOC, we recommend that you do the following:

Create your own statements of earnings

What’s new

• On March 7, 2023, the Government of Manitoba announced an increase to the basic personal amount, effective January 1, 2023. The basic personal amount will increase from $10,855 to $15,000. Since employees have received a lower basic personal amount for the first six months of the year, a prorated basic personal amount of $19,145 will be prepopulated commencing with the payroll in July. 
• On March 3, 2022, amendments were made to Subsection 100 (3), paragraph 60 (e.1) of the Income Tax Regulation, ensuring Canada Pension Plan (CPP) additional contributions are treated as a deduction at source. Please note, this deduction is not displayed separately on the Result page. However, the deduction is used in the calculation of the federal and provincial tax.
• The input field "Other annual deduction amounts for the year" requires an annual amount rather than a pay period amount. This change was made to align with the letter of authority. New
• If you are experiencing difficulty viewing results in PDF format, please ensure the "Employee's name" field does not contain any commas. New
