The powerful Income Tax Calculator
Depending on your province of residence in Canada, you can check your income tax for 2024 using the free income tax calculator. Along with the NETFILE certification with CRA, the App is also certified by Revenu Quebec. The calculator has two versions available for online income tax and refund calculations. The basic version does not ask you for your details and provides you a quick estimate. Choose your province of residence, Net income, and RRSP contribution for the tax year 2024 and get your Marginal Tax estimate figures. It also tells your eligible RRSP refund estimates. Your previous year’s (2023) CRA Notice of Assessment already carries the RRSP contribution limit for the tax year 2024. We use your marginal tax rates to calculate RRSP tax credit.
The enhanced version helps you to calculate your income tax for the tax year 2024 and lets you review before you submit your tax return to CRA. It takes the hassle out of complex calculations by providing simple fields to enter eligible tax credits and deductions, including children and dependent credits. The online service is fully integrated with Revenue Canada NETFILE service.
