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.

What you need to know

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

Create your own statements of earnings

Do not use your printed calculations as an official statement of earnings. An official statement of earnings must have certain information that the calculator does not include. Follow provincial or territorial employment standards to create complete statements of earnings.

What’s new

• As per Canada Pension Plan Regulations Subsection 5.1 (1), for the year 2024 and each subsequent year, pensionable earnings between the Year’s Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YMPE) and a second earnings ceiling, referred to as the Year’s Additional Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YAMPE), are subject to second additional CPP (CPP2) contributions. The formulas to calculate the contributions and the tax deductions have been added to the calculator.
• The result page has been updated to display the CPP2/QPP2 contributions and deductions for CPP/QPP additional contributions. For more information, see Help with the Payroll Deductions Online Calculator.
• For the salary stream, the result page has been updated to display the taxable income for the pay period.
• The "Verify CPP contributions and EI premiums for 2023" stream, now includes the field for "Number of pensionable months" to help the users to verify CPP contributions and pensionable earnings for employees having less than 12 pensionable months.
• For Quebec only, "Quebec taxable benefits and allowances provided to your employee" has been added to the taxable benefits and allowances section (step 2).
