Pay vacation pay out with this cheque

Nova Scotia's legal minimum is 4% of gross wages for your first 7 years of employment, rising to 6% starting your 8th year of service. Paying it out on every cheque (instead of banking it and paying it before time off) is one of the ways the Labour Standards Code allows it to be handled — it isn't mandatory, but if you do it this way it must be shown clearly on the pay stub.

This calculator gives you a solid, CRA-formula-based estimate, but it's a planning tool, not an official pay stub. Real paycheques can involve details this tool doesn't see (benefits, garnishments, unusual TD1 situations), so treat the number as a strong estimate, not a guarantee. If you want it done exactly right, that's what we're here for.
