Payroll Deductions Online Calculator
Notice to T4032/T4008 Users:
As mentioned in the T4032/T4008 Guide Section A, use the Payroll Deductions Online Calculator (PDOC) for the following situations:
- the employee reaches the Year’s Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YMPE) of $66,600 or;
- a payment of remuneration, if annualized by the number of pay periods in the cycle, is over the YMPE of $66,600
PDOC uses exact salary figures and accordingly calculates the deductions provided by the CPP additional contribution for all scenarios. For this reason, PDOC results takes precedence in the above situations.
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:

Clear your Internet browser cache and close the browser after you complete your calculations. Although we do not keep any of the information you enter, the information does remain in your session for up to 30 minutes of inactivity. Information stored within your browser could be viewed by others.
Create your own statements of earnings

What’s new
- 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.
- For the 2023 taxation year, you are now able to input the number of pensionable months for the Canada/Quebec Pension Plan contribution calculation. The application is set to twelve (12) months by default; although, it is recommended to consult the T4001 Employers Guide for more information on special situations. Based on the pensionable months inputted, the maximum contributions will display on the Result page.
- For the 2023 taxation year, you are now able to input previous CPP contributions for employees whose province of employment is Quebec.
- The "Taxable income for the pay period" line on the Result page has been removed.
