Tax and payroll time. Federal and provincial income tax, employee CPP/CPP2 or QPP/QPP2, EI, and Quebec QPIP are divided by estimated hourly income. CPP/CPP2 or QPP/QPP2, EI, and QPIP are included in total tax and payroll contributions but are not allocated across general budget categories.
Funding mix. Government spending is funded by tax revenue, non-tax revenue, transfers where applicable, and deficit financing. Deficit-financed spending is not current revenue. Public debt charges are interest costs on past borrowing.
Debt burden. Per-resident debt burden figures are not personal invoices. The app does not use headline net debt as the default debt burden measure because some public financial assets are restricted, dedicated to pension benefits, or not available to fund ordinary programs.
Data year and sources. The federal fiscal funding and debt view uses the Government of Canada Annual Financial Report 2024-2025. Provincial and territorial fiscal funding and debt views use 2024 Statistics Canada CGFS consolidated provincial-territorial and local government data. Population estimates use Statistics Canada quarterly population estimates for July 1, 2024. Budget allocation source labels are shown beside budget line items where available.
