Manitoba Income Tax Rates 2026 | Tax Brackets Guide
Updated
Manitoba’s three-bracket provincial tax system is straightforward: 10.8% on income up to $47,564, 12.75% to $101,200, and 17.4% on everything above. The top combined rate of 50.4% puts Manitoba in the middle of the pack nationally, but where the province really stands out is housing affordability — average home prices in Winnipeg (~$375,000) are roughly a third of Toronto or Vancouver, which can more than offset any tax differences. Don’t overlook the Education Property Tax Credit (up to $700 for homeowners and renters) and the strong RRSP savings at the 17.4% provincial rate.

The Bottom Line
Manitoba offers a competitive tax environment when you factor in the dramatically lower cost of living — particularly housing. The 7% PST is standard, there’s no separate health premium (unlike Ontario), and the Education Property Tax Credit puts money back in the pockets of both homeowners and renters. At $100,000 income, you’ll pay roughly the same total tax as Alberta or Saskatchewan, but your mortgage will be thousands less per month.
