$70,000 in Alberta: estimated take-home
Employment income
2026 annual planning estimate for regular employment income with the standard basic personal amount. It models federal/provincial tax, CPP/QPP + second additional contributions, EI and Québec QPIP. Exact payroll withholding can differ because TD1 claims, employer benefits, pension plans, taxable benefits and other credits are individual-specific.
What changes your take-home?
Separate income tax from payroll contributions so the result is easier to understand.

The calculator reads annual tax brackets, personal amounts, CPP/QPP, EI, QPIP and special provincial parameters from config/finance/2026.ts. When policy changes, add the next yearly file and switch config/finance/current.ts instead of editing the calculation engine.
