Quebec income tax
Quebec administers its own provincial tax. For 2026 the brackets are 14%, 19%, 24%, and 25.75%, and the basic personal amount is $18,952. CRA T4127 does not calculate Quebec provincial tax; this estimate uses Revenu Québec and Ministère des Finances published parameters.
QPP and QPIP instead of CPP only
Quebec employees contribute to the Quebec Pension Plan at 6.30% up to the $74,600 MPE (maximum $4,479.30), plus QPP2 above that ceiling. They also pay Quebec Parental Insurance Plan premiums and a lower federal EI rate.
Federal abatement
Federal tax for Quebec residents is reduced by a 16.5% abatement, which this calculator applies. Your pay stub will still show federal tax, QPP, EI, QPIP, and Quebec provincial tax as separate lines.
