Your salary isn’t what your job pays you. After tax, childcare, lost child benefits and the hidden costs of working, a $62,000 job can pay about $12 an hour.
This BC calculator compares four options side by side (going back full-time, part-time, staying home, or working from home) and shows what each one really leaves your family each month.
You get:
- The calculator for Excel or Google Sheets, updated with 2026 BC tax, CPP, EI, Canada Child Benefit and BC Family Benefit rates
- A 7-page printable workbook with worksheets, a hidden-costs checklist and decision questions
Built by a BC accountant and mom of three. Instant download. For planning and education, not tax advice.
