CPP is not just one flat line

The calculator applies the per-period basic exemption, the 2026 CPP maximum, the first additional CPP tax deduction and the CPP2 band above the YMPE.

EI stops at the annual maximum

EI is calculated at 1.63% of insurable earnings until the employee reaches the 2026 maximum annual premium of $1,123.07.

PEI starts at 9.5%

The January PEI formula uses 9.5%, 13.47%, 16.6%, 17.62% and 19% brackets. The July formula keeps those bands and adds 21% above $200,000.

Formula period matters in 2026

Prince Edward Island employee payroll calculator FAQ

Does this replace CRA PDOC?

No. It is a planning and review calculator. CRA PDOC, payroll software and the employee's actual TD1 records should be used for final withholding.

Why does net pay change after the CPP or EI maximum?

Once an employee reaches the annual CPP, CPP2 or EI limit with the employer, those deductions stop or reduce, so later cheques can be higher.

Which 2026 PEI formula is used?

Use the January-June setting for pays before July 1, 2026, and the July-December setting for the CRA July edition, which adds PEI's 21% bracket above $200,000.

What PEI TD1 amount is used?

The default provincial claim is the 2026 TD1PE basic personal amount of $15,000. You can select another CRA claim code or enter the employee's actual TD1PE amount.
