How this is calculated
We compute the annual tax return of a single employee with only employment income: pension and EI contributions on the official ceilings, the enhanced pension contributions as a deduction, then federal and provincial tax with the basic personal amount, the Canada employment amount and contribution credits. Paycheque withholding can differ slightly during the year; your tax return settles the difference.
