    employer_total_costWhat a Canadian employee REALLY costs the employer for 2026: gross salary plus mandatory employer-side contributions (CPP + CPP2 + EI at 1.4x; for Quebec: QPP + QPP2 + EI + QPIP + health services fund + labour-standards contribution), with the excluded items (workers' comp, EHT, vacation pay, benefits) disclosed, never silently omitted. Supported: all 13 Canadian provinces/territories. Annual planning figures.
    employee_take_home2026 take-home pay for a Canadian employee on regular salary: CPP/QPP (incl. second-ceiling CPP2/QPP2), EI (and QPIP for Quebec), federal and provincial income tax withheld, net pay per year and per pay period. Assumes a full-year employee with basic TD1 claims. Supported: all 13 Canadian provinces/territories.
    net_to_gross_salaryInvert payroll for 2026: start from the take-home pay you agreed with the employee ("$800/week in their pocket") and get the gross salary that delivers it, the employer's true total cost, and the per-period source-deduction remittances (CRA; split CRA vs Revenu Québec for Quebec). Built for household employers (nanny payroll) who agree on take-home pay; CRA's PDOC computes gross→net and does not cover Quebec. Supported provinces: ON, AB, BC, MB, NS, QC.
