Transparent calculation method

Core tax brackets are applied progressively. Basic personal amounts and the Canada Employment Amount are modeled as non-refundable credits. Base CPP/QPP and EI are included in the core credit approximation; first/second additional pension-plan contributions are deducted from taxable income. Ontario surtax and Ontario Health Premium are modeled. Quebec uses QPP, reduced EI, QPIP and the 16.5% federal Quebec abatement. Some province-specific low-income reductions and specialized credits are not automatically modeled; use the extra-credit fields when appropriate.
