Canada Tax Brackets 2027 (Estimated)
These are projected 2027 federal and provincial income tax brackets for Canada. Brackets usually rise each year with inflation, so the same income falls a little further down the bracket ladder and pays slightly less tax.
Each rate only applies to the income inside its bracket. Your provincial tax is set by the province you lived in on December 31. Use the income tax calculator to see your exact tax and take-home pay.
