How much do you pay in income tax?

Where you live in Canada on Dec. 31 each year determines how much income tax you pay that year.

The federal personal income tax brackets are the same no matter where you live in Canada. But provincial income tax rates and tax brackets — and therefore overall tax bills — vary widely from one part of the country to the next.

The graph below shows how much federal and provincial income tax Canadians pay in each province and territory at six different income levels. Mouse over each income data point to get the specific numbers. Click on the coloured boxes to select or deselect individual provinces and territories.

Note: The tax payable amounts do not include non-refundable tax credits other than the basic personal tax credit. The Ontario figures do not include the Ontario Health Premium.
