    Invert payroll for 2026: start from the take-home pay you agreed with the employee ("$800/week in their pocket") and get the gross salary that delivers it, the employer's true total cost, and the per-period source-deduction remittances (CRA; split CRA vs Revenu Québec for Quebec). Built for household employers (nanny payroll) who agree on take-home pay; CRA's PDOC computes gross→net and does not cover Quebec. Supported provinces: ON, AB, BC, MB, NB, NL, NT, NS, NU, PE, QC, SK, YT.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
