How we calculated this

  1. Deduct CPP at 5.95% of earnings between $3,500 and $74,600 (max $4,230.45), CPP2 at 4% up to $85,000, and EI at 1.63% (max $1,123.07).
  2. Subtract the enhanced part of CPP and all of CPP2 from income to get taxable income.
  3. Apply the 2026 federal brackets (14% to 33%), then subtract 14% of the basic personal amount ($16,452), base CPP, EI and the Canada employment amount.
  4. Apply Nunavut's 2026 brackets and credits (basic personal amount $19,659).
