Tax calculators and rate tables
These tools apply published rate schedules to a number you type. They cover Canada and the United States for the 2026 tax year, and each one links to the document its rates were copied from.
Nothing here files a return or asks who you are. If you want to see the schedules without running a calculation, the bracket tables list every band and rate on one page.

How to read these numbers
An income tax estimator here answers one question: what does the rate schedule do to this amount of income. Payroll contributions such as CPP, EI, Social Security and Medicare are a separate charge, so they live under the salary tools rather than here.
Rates sit in dated files, one per country per year. Every row stores the link it was copied from and the year it applies to. Where a jurisdiction has not published a 2026 figure yet, the page shows the year that jurisdiction did publish instead of quietly relabelling an older number.
