General Information

This section provides answers to the most general questions about webTOD – what it is and what it does
webTOD is a web-based Canadian Payroll Tax Deduction calculator. It can be used to calculate payroll tax deductions on all types of employment income, including regular salary & wages, pension income, bonuses, retroactive pay increases and commission income. Canadian payroll tax deductions include Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions, Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) contributions, Employment Insurance (IE) premiums, Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP) premiums, and Federal and Provincial/Territorial Income Tax withholdings. PLEASE NOTE: webTOD WILL calculate Provincial Income Tax withholdings for the province of Quebec. Quebec administers its own income tax collection independant from the Canada Revenue Agency.

The problem may be that you have 'pop-up blocker' software installed, and this software is blocking the webTOD calculation results window from appearing. You may need to configure your pop-up blocker software to allow pop-ups for our web site so that the webTOD calculation results can be displayed. Most pop-up blocker software has configurable options for allowing pop-ups on user-selected sites.
 

webTOD versus PDOC

We think webTOD is much simpler to use than PDOC and provides a more comprehensive, intuitive and user-friendly interface.  webTOD includes functionality for some taxable deductions and credits that are not included in PDOC, including the credit for purchases of labour-sponsored fund units.  And, if you are an employer in Québec, webTOD includes calculations of required payroll withholding deductions for remittance to Revenu Québec.  PDOC only calculates required payroll withholding deductions to be remitted to CRA.
