1. What is the Salary Tax Calculator?

The Salary Tax Calculator estimates total taxes on salary for 2025-26, including income tax and other mandatory taxes (e.g., FICA, NI, CPP). It provides a quick way to estimate your tax burden based on your salary and applicable tax rates.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Income Tax} = \text{Annual Salary} \times \text{Income Tax Rate} \)
• \( \text{Other Mandatory Taxes} = \text{Annual Salary} \times \text{Other Tax Rate} \)

Explanation: The calculator multiplies your annual salary by each tax rate to calculate the tax amounts, then sums them for the total tax burden.

3. Importance of Tax Calculation

Details: Understanding your tax liability helps with financial planning, budgeting, and ensuring you set aside enough money to cover your tax obligations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your annual salary before taxes, then input the applicable tax rates as percentages. The calculator will compute your estimated tax liability.
