Ontario and Alberta use different provincial tax brackets, credits and special rules. Ontario also applies the Ontario Health Premium through its income tax calculation.
Housing, sales tax, benefits, pensions and other living costs are outside this payroll comparison. Net salary alone does not determine affordability.
Estimates are for general comparison. TD1 credits, benefits, bonuses, pensions and other deductions can change actual payroll results.
