How it's worked out

Everything below is for the employer picked on the Settings tab. Rates step on the agreement's own dates and the calculator uses the column in force for the week you're looking at. Hours are your hours on site, breaks included, the way the lodges' schedule breakdowns count them.

Filling in as foreperson: set that day's role under the date. Each day's hours are paid at that day's rate; overtime follows the same day rules.
Holidays are built in for your agreement and moved to the day they're observed. Untick Stat to switch one off, or tick it for a day your job observes instead.
CPP and EI (2026): CPP 5.95% after a $67.31 weekly exemption until $4,230.45 for the year, then the second CPP at 4% on earnings between $74,600 and $85,000. EI 1.63% until $1,123.07. Quebec: QPP 6.3% to $4,479.30, EI 1.30% to $895.70, QPIP 0.43% to $442.90. The log counts these up week by week, separately for each employer.
Income tax uses the 2026 federal and provincial payroll formulas (CRA T4127, July 2026 edition) the way payroll does: the week's pay times 52, union dues taken off first, with each province's extras (BC tax reduction, Ontario surtax and health premium, Quebec abatement). Real cheques usually land within a few dollars. Quebec provincial tax is an approximation of the Revenu Québec formula.
Living-out allowance and travel are reimbursements. They're normally tax-free when you file a TD4 with your employer, and they don't get vacation or holiday pay. Tick "This employer pays living-out" on the Settings tab and new days you log will have LOA on.

Not included: bus or travel time, missed coffee breaks, the 8-hour-rest rule, minimum reporting time (enter the paid hours), compressed-work-week rotations paid at a blended rate, Cape Breton's separate schedule, and the SaskPower, Lloydminster and other site-specific maintenance agreements. Employer pension and health contributions aren't on your cheque, so they aren't shown.

Independent tool. Not made by or affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, any lodge, the BCA, EPSCA, the ACQ or the CCQ. This is an estimate, not payroll advice. Your stub and your steward have the final word.
