How is this worked out?
We take your yearly pay, subtract CPP and EI, then apply the federal brackets and the Nunavut brackets for 2026, less the basic personal amounts and the CPP and EI credits. The tables behind the numbers are on our Nunavut page. Nothing else is counted: no RRSP, no spouse credits, no benefits and no employer plans.
