How Canadian Income Tax Works
Canada uses a graduated (progressive) tax system. You pay a lower rate on the first portion of income and higher rates as income increases. Both the federal government and your province charge income tax — your total rate is the combined rate.
2026 Federal Tax Brackets
| Income Range | Federal Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 – $57,375 | 15% |
| $57,375 – $114,750 | 20.5% |
| $114,750 – $158,519 | 26% |
| $158,519 – $220,000 | 29% |
| Over $220,000 | 33% |
Your actual rate also depends on your province. Alberta residents pay significantly less overall than Ontario or Quebec residents at the same income.
How Capital Gains Are Taxed
Only 50% of your capital gains are included in your taxable income (the inclusion rate). That amount is then taxed at your marginal rate. If you sell an investment for a $10,000 gain and your marginal rate is 40%, you pay $2,000 in tax — not $4,000.
Principal residence: Gains on your primary home are fully exempt from capital gains tax.
