How the conversion works
Full-time in Canada is usually treated as 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, or 2,080 paid hours a year. Multiply your hourly wage by 2,080 for the gross annual figure. Two adjustments matter: unpaid time off (two unpaid weeks means 2,000 hours, not 2,080), and paid vacation, which is already included in the 2,080 figure for salaried-equivalent work. If you're paid hourly with vacation pay added to each cheque, that 4% is on top.
Before tax is not what you keep
Income tax, CPP and EI come off every paycheque, so the useful number is take-home pay. Each wage page above runs the 2026 brackets for all 13 provinces and territories, so you can see the real difference between, say, Alberta and Quebec at the same wage. To model your own situation, including RRSP contributions, use the income tax calculator or the salary calculator.
