ASSUMPTIONS — Uses the marginal method: the bonus is stacked on top of your base salary, so it is taxed at your top 2026 federal and Ontario marginal rates. CPP and EI apply only on the portion of the bonus still below the annual YMPE/max-insurable ceilings. The federal basic personal amount is applied as a proxy for the provincial basic personal amount. Excludes Quebec-specific QPP/QPIP and other credits.
