Calculate income tax deductions based on the type of payment:

Income tax tables calculate the required income tax for you on given ranges of income for a specified pay period.

Steps

  1. Determine if you can use income tax tables

    Income tax tables can be used in most common situations.

    Use when

    • The payment is for regular employment income or was made with regular pay for one of the common or uncommon pay periods for which tables are provided
    • If the payment is made to a First Nations worker and you received Form TD1-IN, only use these tables on the portion of their income which is taxable

    Do not use when

  2. Review the completed TD1 forms to determine if you need to deduct tax

    Back of TD1 form checkbox for total income less than total claim amount

    Review the completed TD1 forms and verify if your employee checked the box "Total income less than total claim amount".


    •  Do not continue to next step or use the tax tables if your employee checked this box.

      You do not deduct any federal or provincial tax in this situation.

    • Continue to next step if your employee checked this box but you believe it is a false statement.
    • Continue to Step 6 - Get the federal, provincial and territorial income tax tables if your employee did not complete new TD1 forms.

      Use the same claim code that you used previously.

  3. Get the total claim amount from the TD1 forms

    1. Get the federal TD1 form
      TD1 federal form for step 13, total claim amount

      If they are claiming more than the basic personal amount, find the "TOTAL CLAIM AMOUNT" on the completed federal TD1 form

    2. Get the provincial or territorial TD1 form
      TD1 provincial form for step 11, total claim amount

      If they are claiming more than the basic personal amount, find the "TOTAL CLAIM AMOUNT" on the completed provincial or territorial TD1 form

  4. Get the claim codes tables

    1. Get the federal claim codes table

      Use the federal claim codes table.

      Outside Canada

      Only use the federal claim codes when your employee's province of employment is outside Canada.

      To view 2022 or previous tax year, refer to:

  5. Determine the claim code to use

    If the employee checked the box indicating they have more than one employer or payer at the same time, claim code "0" should be used if they have already claimed their personal tax credits on another Form TD1.

    1. Determine the federal claim code

      Find the code in the "Claim code" column which corresponds with the range that includes your employee's "Total claim amount".

    2. Determine the provincial or territorial claim code

      Find the code in the "Claim code" column which corresponds with the range that includes your employee's "Total claim amount".

      If the federal claim code is "0" because the employee is a non-resident, the provincial claim code must also be "0."

  6. Get the federal, provincial and territorial income tax tables

    Use the federal, provincial and territorial income tax tables that matches your employee's province of employment and your pay period.

    The tax tables that match your employee’s province of employment and pay period contains both the federal table and the provincial/territorial table.

  7. Determine the pay range and get the amount of income tax to deduct

    1. Determine the federal income tax to deduct

      Find the range that includes your employee's gross remuneration (including any taxable benefits) in the "Pay" column.

      Screenshot of the federal tax table, highlighting the field: Pay

      Find the applicable "CC" column that matches the employee’s claim code (for example, if the employee’s claim code is 4, go to the CC 4 column).

      Find the amount under the “CC” column that corresponds with the range that includes your employee's pay for the pay period.

      Screenshot of the federal tax table, highlighting the field: Claim codes

      This is the federal income tax to deduct.

    2. Determine the provincial or territorial income tax to deduct

      Find the range that includes your employee's gross remuneration (including any taxable benefits) in the "Pay" column.

      Screenshot of a provincial tax table, highlighting the field: Pay

      Find the applicable "CC" column that matches the employee’s claim code (for example, if the employee’s claim code is 4, go to the CC 4 column).

      Find the amount under the “CC” column that corresponds with the range that includes your employee’s pay for the pay period.

      Screenshot of a provincial tax table, highlighting the field: Claim codes

      This is the provincial or territorial income tax to deduct.

      Calculation example

      Joseph's province of employment is Alberta. His pay is $600 weekly. Using the "Total claim amount" from your employee’s completed Form TD1 and Form TD1AB, you determined his federal claim code is "1" and his provincial claim code is "1".

      You go to the federal, and provincial for Alberta and select "52 periods (weekly)". The table document contains both the federal income tax table and the Alberta provincial tax table.

      You go to the federal table. You scroll down until you find the "Pay" amount that includes $600 (in this case, the row "597-601"). You scan across to the CC1 column. The amount in the CC1 column that corresponds with the row "597-601" is $38.55. This is the amount of federal income tax to deduct.

      Next, you scroll down to the Alberta provincial tax deduction table, which begins on page E-1. You scroll down until you find the "Pay" amount that includes $600 (in this case, the row "598-602"). You scan across to the CC1 column. The amount in the CC5 column that corresponds with the row "598-602" is $16.60. This is the amount of provincial income tax to deduct.

  8. Calculate the amount of income tax you have to withhold and remit

    • Federal income tax you have to withhold from your employee (step 7a)
    • plus If applicable, provincial or territorial income tax you have to withhold from your employee (step 7b)
    • plus If applicable, any additional income tax that your employee had requested be withheld from their remuneration on Form TD1
    • equals This is the total amount you have to withhold and remit: federal, provincial and territorial income tax
    Calculation example

    Joseph earns a salary of $600 per week in 2024. His province of employment is Alberta. The claim code on his TD1 is "1" and on his TD1AB is "1".

    • $38.55 is Joseph’s federal income tax you have to withhold (step 7a)
    • plus $16.60 is Joseph’s provincial income tax you have to withhold (step 7b)
    • plus $0 as Joseph did not request additional income tax withheld on his Form TD1
    • equals $55.15 is the total amount you have to withhold and remit (federal and provincial income tax)
