Canada Payroll Calculatorsverified against CRA-published rules

Put a verified employer-cost calculator on your site.

One copy-paste. Free forever. Your visitors type a salary and see the true 2026 cost of hiring in Canada — employer CPP match, 1.4× EI, and Quebec's QPP, QPIP, FSS and CNT — every figure computed by a tested engine implementing CRA's published T4127 payroll formulas (and Revenu Québec's TP-1015.F-V), cross-checked against CRA's own PDOC calculator before anything ships.

Who it's for

Bookkeepers and accounting firms who want a genuinely useful tool on their site, HR and startup bloggers writing about the cost of a first hire, and nanny or caregiver agencies whose clients ask "what will this really cost me?" every week. Visitors get a live answer for Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Quebec without leaving your page.

The fine print

Free for any legitimate website. The widget shows estimates-only wording and links to the full calculator — please don't remove the attribution link from the snippet; it's how we keep this free. Figures update automatically each rate year when CRA publishes new formulas (that's the point of embedding instead of hard-coding a table that rots). Estimates only — not tax, legal, or payroll advice.
