Make public money easier to understand

Taxes are the part of public spending people see on a paycheque. Budgets are the part people often see in headlines. TaxHours connects them by translating public money into working time.

An educational public-finance tool

TaxHours helps Canadians explore simplified tax estimates, payroll deductions, and public spending categories without needing an account or a tax file.

Neutral by design

The tool does not recommend a political outcome. It labels assumptions, source taxonomies, limitations, and static policy-model constraints so users can inspect the basis for a view.

A correction-first approach

Sources and release details are public so readers can check them. Potential issues can be submitted through the Report an error route and confirmed corrections are recorded in the public release archive.
