Payroll · Manitoba
Manitoba paycheck calculator.
Three Manitoba brackets from 10.8% to 17.4%, plus federal tax, CPP and EI. Built on CRA’s own payroll formulas.
A Manitoba paycheque calculator for 2026, following CRA’s T4127 Payroll Deductions Formulas. On a $60,000 salary paid bi-weekly, take-home is about $1,760.50 per cheque ($45,772.91 a year).
Manitoba has only three provincial brackets (10.8%, 12.75% and 17.4%) and no provincial surtax or premium taken from your cheque. Its quirk is the basic personal amount, which is $15,780 and is not indexed for 2026.

What comes off a Manitoba paycheque
- Federal income tax — 2026 brackets from 14%, basic personal amount of $16,452 phasing down to $14,829, plus the Canada Employment Amount of $1,501.
- Manitoba income tax — 10.8% to $47,000, 12.75% to $100,000, then 17.4%; basic personal amount $15,780.
- CPP — 5.95% of earnings between $3,500 and $74,600, plus CPP2 at 4% up to $85,000.
- EI — 1.63% of insurable earnings up to $68,900.
The Manitoba basic personal amount is a flat $15,780 up to $200,000 of income, reduced linearly between $200,000 and $400,000 and zero at $400,000 or more (T4127 Chapter 2, factor BPAMB). The CRA notes that the amount and the bracket thresholds are not indexed from 2025. On a typical salary that means the 17.4% rate starts at $100,000 and stays there.
The Manitoba Health and Post Secondary Education Tax Levy is real, but it is paid by employers with a payroll over $2.5 million; it is not deducted from your cheque.
Manitoba take-home pay: worked examples (2026)
Single employee, bi-weekly pay (26 periods), claim code 1. Each row is produced by the calculator above, so you can reproduce it by entering the annual salary divided by 26.
| Salary | Federal tax | Manitoba tax | CPP | EI | Net per year | Net per bi-weekly cheque |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $45,000 | $3,338.20 | $2,809.86 | $2,469.25 | $733.50 | $35,649.19 | $1,371.12 |
| $60,000 | $5,338.29 | $4,549.05 | $3,361.75 | $978.00 | $45,772.91 | $1,760.50 |
| $100,000 | $13,301.59 | $9,483.68 | $4,646.45 | $1,123.07 | $71,445.21 | $2,747.89 |
CPP and EI in 2026
These are federal and the same in Manitoba as in every province outside Quebec.
- CPP: maximum employee contribution $4,230.45, plus CPP2 maximum $416.00.
- EI: maximum employee premium $1,123.07 on insurable earnings up to $68,900.
Both stop once the annual ceiling is reached, so take-home pay rises for higher earners later in the year.
How this is calculated
The numbers follow CRA’s T4127 Payroll Deductions Formulas. It assumes a full year at a constant salary and TD1 claim code 1: the basic personal amount and nothing else. If you claim other TD1 credits, or your employer takes pension contributions, union dues or group benefits, your real cheque will differ. Manitoba also has a labour-sponsored funds credit in the CRA formulas (factor LCP, up to $1,800 a year). This page does not model it.
