As Alberta’s capital, Edmonton has a large provincial public service, a university and hospitals, and it is also the supply and service base for the oil sands and northern resource projects. That mix of public-sector and industrial jobs shapes the percentile table below, which compares Edmonton with Alberta and Canada, followed by the share of residents reporting six-figure incomes. Average and median income are on the Edmonton average income page; see the income percentiles overview for the method.

Edmonton income percentile table

50th	$43,300
60th	$54,000
70th	$66,900
75th	$74,600

Source: Statistics Canada Table 98-10-0064, 2020 income year (2021 Census). Values are interpolated from published $5,000-wide income brackets, not exact published percentiles. StatCan’s own published median for the same population is $45,600, versus this table’s interpolated $43,300, a normal margin for bracket interpolation. A percentile shown as “$150,000+” falls in the open-ended “$150,000 and over” bracket: it is at least $150,000, and the table can’t place it more precisely.

The amounts are for the Edmonton census metropolitan area, which includes St. Albert, Sherwood Park and Spruce Grove, for 2020 income.

Edmonton against Alberta and Canada

Percentile	Edmonton	Alberta	Canada	Edmonton vs Alberta	Edmonton vs Canada
25th	$22,600	$22,000	$21,200	+$600	+$1,400
50th	$43,300	$42,300	$39,500	+$1,000	+$3,800
75th	$74,600	$74,300	$67,000	+$300	+$7,600
90th	$118,500	$122,000	$103,000	-$3,500	+$15,500
99th	$150,000+	$150,000+	$150,000+	N/A	N/A

Source: Statistics Canada Table 98-10-0064, 2020 income year (2021 Census), interpolated from published income brackets. The 99th percentile is the floor of the open-ended “$150,000 and over” bracket for all three geographies, so no meaningful difference can be computed at that row.

Each row gives Edmonton’s dollar gap from Alberta and from Canada at that percentile.

High incomes in Edmonton

In 2023, 17.8% of Edmonton-area residents with income reported $100,000 or more, below the Alberta share of 18.4% and above the national 14.8%. At $150,000 or more the Edmonton share was 6.5%.

Income	Edmonton	Alberta	Canada
$100,000 or more	17.8%	18.4%	14.8%
$150,000 or more	6.5%	7.4%	5.4%
$200,000 or more	3.0%	3.7%	2.6%
$250,000 or more	1.6%	2.1%	1.5%

Trades and camp work in the oil sands pay well but irregularly, so these shares can move from one year to the next.

Edmonton and Calgary

The two Alberta cities are often compared; Calgary’s income percentiles follow the same layout, and Calgary vs. Edmonton cost of living compares what incomes buy in each.
