An estimate, not advice. Tax is a 2026 estimate with no deductions or credits for a partner or children; if you enter a partner's salary, each salary is taxed separately and the partner's pay is assumed to stay the same after the move. Rent is the CMHC average of occupied units, not what you would pay for a new lease. Your other spending is scaled by the provincial difference in average household spending (Statistics Canada) on food, transport, health, recreation, utilities and similar items: it does not capture your own habits. Quebec cities and the territories are not included.
