Frequently Asked Questions
In 2026, the average starting salary for university graduates in Canada is typically between $60,000 and $75,000 depending on the field. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) and Business graduates often start between $70,000 and $90,000.
Your gross salary is subject to several mandatory deductions before it hits your bank account. These include Federal Income Tax, Provincial Income Tax, Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions, and Employment Insurance (EI) premiums. Together, these can account for 20-35% of your gross pay depending on your income bracket.
Yes, significantly. While Federal tax, CPP, and EI are standard across most of Canada, provincial income tax rates vary widely. For example, Alberta has a flat 10% rate on the first ~$148,000, while Ontario and BC use progressive brackets that start much lower (around 5%).
CPP is the Canada Pension Plan, a mandatory retirement savings scheme. EI is Employment Insurance, which provides temporary income if you lose your job. Both are calculated as a percentage of your salary up to an annual maximum cap.
