Questions people ask

+How much tax comes off a $2,000 paycheque in New Brunswick?

On $2,000 every two weeks ($52,000 a year) in New Brunswick in 2026, about $288.33 of income tax, $110.99 of CPP and $32.60 of EI come off, leaving $1,568.08.

+What deductions come off a paycheque in New Brunswick?

Federal and New Brunswick income tax, CPP and EI (1.63% of pay). Your stub may also show pension plan contributions, union dues, group benefits and any extra tax you asked for.

+Why did my CPP and EI deductions stop late in the year?

Both have a yearly maximum. Once your earnings pass $68,900 you stop paying EI, and once they pass $74,600 regular CPP stops (CPP2 continues up to $85,000). They start again in January, so your first cheque of the year is smaller.

+How accurate is this pay stub calculator?

It annualizes your pay, works out the year’s tax and contributions, and divides by your number of pay periods. Payroll software uses the CRA formulas cheque by cheque, so a single stub can be a few dollars different, especially for the first and last cheques of the year or if your hours change.
