How to Use the Quebec Salary Calculator
A Quebec Salary Calculator is a financial tool that estimates how much of your gross annual salary you will take home after federal taxes, provincial taxes, and common deductions in Quebec, Canada.
Why Use a Quebec Salary Calculator?
If you live and work in Quebec, your gross salary (the amount before taxes) is reduced by several deductions, including federal income tax, provincial income tax, Canada Pension Plan (CPP), and Employment Insurance (EI). This calculator helps you understand:
- How much tax do you pay
- What your actual take-home pay will be
- How much you earn per paycheck, depending on whether you’re paid monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly

Example
If you earn $60,000 annually, paid bi-weekly (26 pay periods):
- Gross Salary: $60,000
- Total Deductions: ~$25,800 (estimated)
- Net Annual Salary: ~$34,200
- Net Per Pay Period: ~$1,315
This means your actual spendable income per paycheck is around $1,315 instead of the full $2,307 you might expect from dividing gross salary by 26.
