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.

We don't know your deductions, benefits, other income, credits or city taxes, so your pay stub will differ. It is an estimate, not tax advice.
