Canada income tax rates 2026
| Taxable income | Rate |
|---|---|
| C$0 – C$58,523 | 14% |
| C$58,524 – C$117,045 | 20.5% |
| C$117,046 – C$181,440 | 26% |
| C$181,441 – C$258,482 | 29% |
| C$258,483 and over | 33% |
These are federal brackets only. Provincial tax is calculated separately and stacked on top — Ontario runs from 5.05% to 13.16%, while Quebec reaches 25.75%. CPP is 5.95% on earnings between about C$3,500 and C$68,500, plus CPP2 at 4% above that, and EI is 1.63% of insurable earnings. Because CPP and EI both stop at a ceiling, total contributions flatten out above roughly C$90,000, which is why the effective rate in the table rises so slowly through the middle of the range.
What Canadians actually earn
Statistics Canada publishes employee wages hourly rather than as an annual median, so a single headline salary figure does not exist in the official data. For 2025 the average hourly wage was $38.64 for men and $34.04 for women (Labour Force Survey, current dollars). At 37.5 hours a week over 52 weeks that annualises to roughly C$75,300 and C$66,400 respectively — but that conversion is ours, not Statistics Canada's, and it assumes full-time hours every week of the year. Treat it as a rough guide rather than a published statistic. Source: Statistics Canada, Labour Force Survey, Table 14-10-0417-01.
Frequently asked questions
What is the average salary in Canada?
Statistics Canada reports wages hourly rather than annually. In 2025 the average hourly wage was $38.64 for men and $34.04 for women. Annualised at 37.5 hours a week that is roughly C$75,300 and C$66,400, though that conversion assumes full-time hours all year and is not an official Statistics Canada figure.
How much tax do I pay on C$100,000 in Canada?
On C$100,000 in Ontario the combined federal and provincial income tax is about C$14,393, plus C$5,770 in CPP and EI, so C$20,163 in total. That is an effective rate of 20.2%, leaving take-home of roughly C$79,837.
What are the Canadian federal tax brackets for 2026?
14% on the first C$58,523, 20.5% to C$117,045, 26% to C$181,440, 29% to C$258,482, and 33% above that. Provincial tax is charged separately on top and varies by province.
Are CPP and EI included in take-home pay?
Yes, both are deducted in every figure on this page. CPP is 5.95% on earnings between about C$3,500 and C$68,500 with CPP2 at 4% above that, and EI is 1.63%. Your employer pays a matching CPP contribution and 1.4 times your EI, which does not reduce your take-home pay.
Does the province I live in change my take-home pay?
Substantially. Provincial income tax is stacked on top of federal tax and ranges from Alberta's relatively flat structure to Quebec's top rate of 25.75%. This page uses Ontario; select your province in the calculator for an accurate figure.
