Method, assumptions and limits
The calculation applies the 2026 tax tables published by the Canada Revenue Agency and Revenu Québec to a single employee with no other income. It estimates:
- federal income tax (14% to 33% brackets) less the basic personal amount and contribution credits;
- in Quebec, the 16.5% abatement on federal tax, then Quebec income tax (14% to 25.75%);
- in Ontario, the provincial surtax and the Ontario Health Premium;
- CPP or QPP contributions (both tiers), Employment Insurance and, in Quebec, QPIP.
What’s left over is monthly take-home pay minus the rent and other expenses you enter. The “equivalent” salary is the Canadian gross that would leave you the same amount as in France.
What the calculation does not include
- the Canada employment amount, Quebec’s deduction for workers and provincial low-income tax reductions (actual take-home pay may be slightly higher);
- RRSP contributions, employer pension plans, group insurance and taxable benefits;
- family situation, refundable credits and benefits;
- any French tax in the year you leave, and the effect of the France–Canada tax treaty.
The default exchange rate (C$1.6 per €1) is indicative: replace it with today’s rate from the Bank of Canada. Provinces covered: Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta; more will follow.
