Notes

Calculations are based on other provinces' tax parameters known as of March 9, 2018.

* Health premiums are assumed to be borne by individuals. In provinces that impose payroll taxes, 75% is assumed to be borne by employees and 25% by employers.
* Fuel tax is based on estimated consumption of 3,000 litres per year for one income families and 4,500 litres for two income families.
* Carbon changes are based on the fuel tax gasoline consumption assumptions and natural gas consumption of 130 GJ/year for a family of four.
* Only direct carbon changes are applied and are net of related credit programs (e.g. ACLAR). Cap-and-trade systems such as those in place in Ontario and Quebec are not included.
* RRSP/RPP contributions of $0, $6,000, $10,000 and $25,000 are included in the calculation of personal income tax for the $35,000, $75,0000, $100,000 and $200,000 families, respectively.
* For two income families, income and RRSP/RPP contributions are split 60/40 between two spouses.
* The children in each family are assumed to be 6 and 12 years old.
