New Brunswick's payroll taxes are integrated with federal processing, but the province sets its own rates and brackets. Knowing your net pay is essential for budgeting in the Maritimes.
NB Provincial Tax
New Brunswick has a progressive income tax system. The government periodically adjusts tax brackets and rates. It's important to use an up-to-date calculator like this one to ensure you are seeing the correct withholding for the current tax year.
Harmonized Sales Tax (HST)
While not a payroll deduction, it's worth noting that New Brunswick uses the HST system (combining GST and PST). Your purchasing power is affected by this consumption tax, making accurate net pay calculation even more important for monthly budgeting.
