Payroll · Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan paycheck calculator.
Saskatchewan tax at 10.5%, 12.5% and 14.5%, plus federal tax, CPP and EI. Built on CRA’s own payroll formulas.
A Saskatchewan paycheque calculator for 2026, following CRA’s T4127 Payroll Deductions Formulas. On a $60,000 salary paid bi-weekly, take-home is about $1,789.23 per cheque ($46,519.94 a year).
Saskatchewan has three provincial brackets (10.5%, 12.5% and 14.5%) and a basic personal amount of $20,381, so the first $20,381 of income carries no Saskatchewan tax. There is no provincial surtax or health premium on your cheque.

What comes off a Saskatchewan 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.
- Saskatchewan income tax — 10.5% to $54,532, 12.5% to $155,805, then 14.5%; basic personal amount $20,381.
- 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.
Saskatchewan’s middle bracket is wide: 12.5% applies from $54,532 all the way to $155,805, so most salaried earners never reach the 14.5% top rate. Combined with the $20,381 basic personal amount, a $60,000 earner pays noticeably less provincial tax than in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick or Manitoba at the same salary (see the table below).
Saskatchewan 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 | Saskatchewan tax | CPP | EI | Net per year | Net per bi-weekly cheque |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $45,000 | $3,338.20 | $2,248.71 | $2,469.25 | $733.50 | $36,210.35 | $1,392.71 |
| $60,000 | $5,338.29 | $3,802.02 | $3,361.75 | $978.00 | $46,519.94 | $1,789.23 |
| $100,000 | $13,301.59 | $8,640.66 | $4,646.45 | $1,123.07 | $72,288.23 | $2,780.32 |
CPP and EI in 2026
These are federal and the same in Saskatchewan 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. Saskatchewan also has a labour-sponsored funds credit in the CRA formulas (factor LCP, up to $875 a year). This page does not model it.
