๐Ÿ“ How Canadian Income Tax Works

Canada's Two-Layer Tax System

Total Tax = Federal Tax + Provincial Tax

Both use: Gross Income โˆ’ Deductions = Taxable Income
Taxable Income ร— Progressive Rates = Tax
Tax โˆ’ Non-Refundable Credits = Tax Payable

Federal Basic Personal Amount (BPA)

BPA reduces federal tax via a non-refundable credit:
Credit = BPA ร— 15% (lowest federal rate)

2024: $15,705 โ†’ Credit of $2,356
2025: $16,129 โ†’ Credit of $2,419

Effectively: first ~$16,000 of income = 0% federal tax

CPP โ€” Canada Pension Plan 2025

CPP1: 5.95% on earnings $3,500 โ€“ $71,300
CPP2: 4.00% on earnings $71,300 โ€“ $81,900 (new 2025)
Max CPP1: ~$4,034.10/year
Max CPP2: ~$428.00/year

Self-employed pay BOTH halves = 11.9% (CPP1)

EI โ€” Employment Insurance 2025

Rate: 1.64% (reduced from 1.66% in 2024)
Max insurable: $65,700
Max premium: ~$1,077.48/year
Quebec rate: 1.31% (separate QPIP)

Self-employed: optional participation

RRSP โ€” Registered Retirement Savings Plan

RRSP contributions reduce taxable income dollar-for-dollar
2025 limit: 18% of 2024 earned income, max $32,490

Tax saving = Contribution ร— Marginal Rate
$5,000 RRSP at 40% combined marginal = $2,000 saved
