Notes:
(1) The federal top marginal tax rate applies on taxable income over $258,482 for 2026. Where the provincial or territorial threshold is higher than federal, the amount is indicated above.
(2) Prince Edward Island introduced a new top personal income tax rate of 20% on income over $200,000 effective January 1, 2026. (Note that the province confirmed the effective date for this new rate is January 1, 2026 and not January 1, 2027 as originally announced in its 2026 provincial budget.)
2026 combined federal and provincial/territorial tax brackets
Use the following tables to estimate combined federal and provincial/territorial tax and combined marginal tax rates on regular income, dividends and capital gains. Tax rates and amounts include surtaxes where applicable. Where applicable, reduce the tax by your total federal and provincial/territorial tax credits, and consider provincial/territorial tax reductions at lower levels of income.
Note that the 2026 federal basic personal amount (BPA) increases from $14,829 to $16,452 for taxpayers with net income of $181,440 or less. For income above this threshold, the additional BPA of $1,623 is gradually reduced until it becomes nil at net income of $258,482. Similar BPA reductions apply in Manitoba and Yukon when income exceeds a certain threshold. The marginal tax rates and the tax on bottom of range in the following tables (other than the table for non-residents) have been adjusted to reflect these BPA reductions described above.
These estimates do not consider alternative minimum tax.
Federal rates: The lowest federal personal income tax rate is reduced from 14.5% to 14%, effective January 1, 2026.

Note of changes (2025 and later years):
Federal
- The business limit is phased out for CCPCs based on the greater of two components:
- For corporations that have taxable capital employed in Canada of more than $10 million, the business limit is reduced on a straight-line basis and is eliminated when taxable capital reaches $50 million. Associated corporations are grouped for this test.
- For corporations that earned more than $50,000 of passive investment income in a year, the business limit is reduced by $5 for every $1 of investment income earned and is eliminated when investment income earned in the associated group of corporations reaches $150,000. Ontario and New Brunswick are not implementing the investment income restriction to the provincial business limit.
- The corporate tax rates are temporarily reduced for qualifying companies involved in zero-emission technology manufacturing or process activities. The tax rates on zero-emission technology manufacturing profits would be 4.5% where that income would otherwise be taxed at the 9% small business tax rate, and 7.5% where that income would otherwise be taxed at the 15% general corporate tax rate. The reduced tax rates apply to taxation years that begin after 2021 and are legislated to be gradually phased out in taxation years that begin in 2032, and to be fully phased out for taxation years that begin after 2034.
- 30.67% of investment income is eligible for a refund at the rate of 38.33% of dividends paid.
- The federal rate on personal services business income is 33.0%.
- An additional tax applies to bank and life insurer groups of 1.5% on taxable income over $100 million, which increases the tax rate from 15% (in the chart above) to 16.5%. The $100 million taxable income exemption must be shared amongst group members.
Ontario
- The rate on ABI up to the business limit decreases from 3.2% to 2.2% effective July 1, 2026.
Québec
- The rate on ABI up to the business limit decreases from 3.2% to 2.2% for taxation years that begin after April 29, 2026.
- Corporations must either meet the minimum number of remunerated hours test or operate in the manufacturing or primary (MOP) industries to access the small business deduction (SBD).
- To meet the remunerated hours test, the corporation must have paid its employees for at least 5,500 hours per year in its current or previous taxation year. Where the number of hours worked falls below this threshold, the SBD rate will be reduced linearly when the number of hours paid per year falls between 5,000 and 5,500 hours. Where the hours are less than 5,000, no SBD will be available.
- SMBs in the MOP industries that do not meet the remunerated hours test can benefit from the full SBD rate if 50% or more of their activities are in the MOP sector. Where this proportion is between 25% and 50%, the SBD rate will be reduced.
- If a corporation in the MOP sector meets both the minimum proportion of activities test (over 25%) and the minimum number of remunerated hours test (over 5,000 hours), the SBD rate is equal to the greater of the rates calculated under the two tests.
Nova Scotia
- The rate on ABI up to the business limit decreased from 2.5% to 1.5%, and the small business deduction limit increased from $500,000 to $700,000, both effective April 1, 2025.
Prince Edward Island
- The general corporate tax rate decreased from 16% to 15%, and the small business deduction limit increased from $500,000 to $600,000, both effective July 1, 2025.
Newfoundland and Labrador
- The rate on ABI up to the business limit decreased from 2.5% to 2% retroactively on January 1, 2026, and will decrease to 1.5% on January 1, 2027, and to 1% on January 1, 2028.
2026 employer payroll tax
The following jurisdictions levy an employer payroll tax on remuneration for individuals employed in that jurisdiction. Tax rates for 2026 are listed below. This chart does not include workers’ safety and compensation board premiums, Quebec’s contribution related to labour standards, and Quebec’s contribution to the Workforce Skills Development and Recognition Fund (WSDRF). This chart also does not include certain other taxes paid by employees as a payroll deduction in Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Québec.
| Jurisdiction | Payroll tax rates (%) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MB | 0 - 4.3 | Manitoba Health and Post Secondary Education Tax Levy: Payroll of $0 to $2.5 million, no tax; from $2.5 million to $5 million, 4.3% of payroll over $2.5 million; over $5 million, 2.15% of total payroll. Associated corporations and certain corporate partnerships are deemed to be a single employer for purposes of the exemption. |
| ON | 0 - 1.95 | Ontario Employer Health Tax: Rate of tax is 0.98% for taxable remuneration that does not exceed $200,000 and 1.95% for taxable remuneration over $400,000 (graduated rates apply for payrolls between the thresholds). The tax rate to use is based on the level of Ontario payroll before deducting any tax exemption. The general exemption for eligible employers is $1 million. This exemption is indexed every five years and the next scheduled adjustment for inflation will be January 1, 2029. Private sector employers with annual Ontario payrolls over $5 million, including groups of associated employers, are not eligible for the exemption. However, eligible employers who are registered charities can claim the exemption even if their payroll exceeds $5 million. Special rules apply to eligible employers who are registered charities. |
| QC | 1.25 - 4.26 or 1.65 - 4.26 | Quebec Contribution to the Health Services Fund: Rate of tax is 4.26% unless the employer qualifies for a reduced contribution rate. An employer that is not in the public-sector and has total payroll of less than the total payroll threshold applicable for the year, which is $7.8 million, is eligible for a reduced rate. For employers whose total payroll is more than 50% attributable to activities in the primary and manufacturing sectors, the rate is 1.25% for payrolls of $1 million or less. The rate rises linearly from 1.25% to 4.26% where payroll is between $1 million and $7.8 million. All employers other than public sector employers and employers in the primary and manufacturing sectors described above will pay a rate of 1.65% for payrolls of $1 million or less.
