Payroll Remitter Frequency Calculator

CRA doesn't ask which schedule you'd prefer. Your average monthly withholding amount from two years ago decides it for you, and getting caught off guard is exactly how penalties start.

How To Use This Calculator

Enter total payroll deductions remitted over the year and how many months required a remittance.

CRA reviews every payroll account each November and assigns a remitter type based on the average monthly withholding amount from two calendar years prior, income tax, CPP, and EI combined. The higher that average, the more often remittances come due.
