Endpoint status observed on . Source: https://canada-payroll.ca/mcp.

3 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.

employee_take_home(province, annual_salary, pay_frequency)
2026 take-home pay for a Canadian employee on regular salary: CPP/QPP (incl. second-ceiling CPP2/QPP2), EI (and QPIP for Quebec), federal and provincial income tax withheld, net pay per year and per pay period. Assumes a full-year employee with basic TD1 claims. Supported: all 13 Canadian provinces/territories. Required: annual_salary, province.
employer_total_cost(province, annual_salary)
What a Canadian employee REALLY costs the employer for 2026: gross salary plus mandatory employer-side contributions (CPP + CPP2 + EI at 1.4x; for Quebec: QPP + QPP2 + EI + QPIP + health services fund + labour-standards contribution), with the excluded items (workers' comp, EHT, vacation pay, benefits) disclosed, never silently omitted. Supported: all 13 Canadian provinces/territories. Annual planning figures. Required: annual_salary, province.
net_to_gross_salary(province, pay_frequency, target_net_pay)
Invert payroll for 2026: start from the take-home pay you agreed with the employee ("$800/week in their pocket") and get the gross salary that delivers it, the employer's true total cost, and the per-period source-deduction remittances (CRA; split CRA vs Revenu Québec for Quebec). Built for household employers (nanny payroll) who agree on take-home pay; CRA's PDOC computes gross→net and does not cover Quebec. Supported provinces: ON, AB, BC, MB, NS, QC. Required: target_net_pay, pay_frequency, province.
