Canadian income tax is two sets of brackets working together: the same federal brackets everywhere, plus your province or territory's own. Each rate only taxes the part of income inside its bracket. Our guide on how tax brackets work in Canada explains the basics, the glossary defines the terms, and the comparison tool puts any two provinces or territories side by side.
Canada uses two sets of brackets at once: federal brackets (currently five rates, from 14% up to 33%) plus your province or territory's own brackets. Pick a province or territory above to see both for the latest tax year.
There are currently five federal rates (14%, 20.5%, 26%, 29%, and 33%), each applied to a part of taxable income. The thresholds move each year with inflation. Any province page above shows the current federal table next to the provincial one.
It depends on the income level. Provinces differ in rates, thresholds, credits, and extras like Ontario's surtax or Quebec's abatement, so no single province is lowest for everyone. The compare tool shows any two side by side at sample incomes.
Each bracket's rate only applies to the part of income inside it, not to everything you earn, so a raise can't shrink your take-home pay through the brackets alone. Our guide on how tax brackets work in Canada explains it with examples.
