  • British Columbia changed its 2026 tax mid-year. This uses the full-year 2026 rules; from July 2026 employers use prorated amounts so the year's total comes out the same.
  • Assumes you claim only the basic personal amounts (TD1 claim code 1) and earn the same pay every period for the full year.
  • Per-pay figures are yearly totals divided by 26. Actual paycheques are a little smaller until you reach the CPP and EI maximums for the year, then larger.
