How it works
From your gross yearly salary we take off federal income tax, provincial or state income tax, and payroll contributions: CPP and EI in Canada, Social Security and Medicare in the United States. Pre-tax contributions such as an RRSP or a 401(k) lower the income that is taxed. Self-employed people pay both halves of CPP or of Social Security and Medicare. What the estimate cannot know: benefits, other income, credits you claim and city taxes.
