Quebec tax overview

Tax structure

Quebec has its own progressive income tax with rates from 14% to 25.75% and collects provincial tax separately from the CRA via Revenu Québec.

Top tax rate

25.75%

Maximum provincial income tax rate for Quebec residents.

Important notes

Quebec runs its own tax system separately from the CRA. Paystub Pilot applies Quebec-specific rates, along with QPP (instead of CPP) and QPIP premiums where relevant.

2026 Quebec income tax rates

Quebec uses a progressive provincial income tax. Below are the 2026 marginal brackets — each rate applies only to the income that falls within that band, after the provincial basic personal amount of $18,952 (the tax-free threshold). Federal CRA income tax, CPP/QPP, and EI/QPIP apply on top of these provincial rates.

Taxable incomeProvince marginal rate
Up to $54,34514%
$54,345 – $108,68019%
$108,680 – $132,24524%
$132,245 and up25.75%

Quebec note: Quebec administers its own provincial income tax through Revenu Québec. Residents contribute to the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) instead of CPP and to the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP), and they still pay federal EI at Quebec's reduced rate. A 16.5% federal tax abatement reduces their federal income tax.

2026 provincial rates — the same tables our generator uses. Combined with federal CRA tax, your total withholding is higher than the provincial rate alone. Confirm against the CRA and Quebec before filing.

Who uses a Quebec pay stub generator

Small employers running payroll by hand

CRA's Payroll Deductions Online Calculator gives you the numbers but not a statement of earnings. Turn each Quebec pay run into a pay statement with every line the Act respecting labour standards lists. The stub is in English; Quebec's Charter of the French Language expects written communications to staff in French, so pair it with a French version where that applies.

Household employers

Families in Quebec paying a nanny, caregiver, or housekeeper on payroll can hand over a proper statement each period, with QPP, EI, QPIP, and tax lines itemized.

Owner-managers paying themselves

Incorporated Quebec business owners drawing a salary get a period-by-period record that reconciles with their T4 and remittances at year end.

Replacing a lost statement

Rebuild a missing Quebec pay statement from the payroll register so the employee's records are complete.

Quebec pay stub FAQs

How is income tax calculated on a Quebec pay stub?
A Quebec pay stub combines federal CRA income tax with Quebec's progressive provincial income tax (top rate 25.75%), then deducts Quebec Pension Plan (QPP), Employment Insurance, and QPIP premiums. Our generator applies current CRA and Revenu Québec tables automatically.
What is deducted from a paycheck in Quebec?
Standard deductions on a Quebec paycheck are: federal income tax, Quebec provincial income tax, and QPP, EI, and QPIP premiums, plus any voluntary items like RRSP contributions or extended health. Year-to-date totals are tracked for your T4.
What is the top tax rate in Quebec?
Quebec's top provincial income tax rate is 25.75%. Because federal CRA income tax applies on top of the provincial rate, your total marginal rate is higher than 25.75% alone.
What has to appear on a Quebec pay statement?
Every province and territory requires a written statement each pay day; the common core is the pay period, wage rate, hours, gross pay, the amount and purpose of every deduction, and net pay, and Quebec adds the employee's occupation and any tips. The exact list is in Quebec's employment standards. Vacation pay should be shown when it is paid out or banked. The generator lays these out for you; the employer remains responsible for remittances, records of employment, and T4/RL-1 slips.
