How is federal income tax calculated?
Canadian federal income tax is calculated using the following tax bracket.
| Tax rate | 15% | 20.5% | 26% | 29% | 33% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Annual income | $0 to $49,020 | $49,020 to $98,040 | $98,040 to $151,978 | $151,978 to $216,511 | $216,511+ |
How is Saskatchewan's income tax calculated?
How much tax you will pay on your salary in Saskatchewan depends on your income. Different provinces apply different tax rates. Here is Saskatchewan’s tax bracket.
| Tax rate | 10.50% | 12.50% | 14.50% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual income | $0 to $45,677 | $45,677 to $130,506 | $130,506 |
How do tax brackets work?
When looking at tax brackets, remember that the tax rate is only applied to that specific tax rate. To take just federal taxes as a simplified example, someone who makes $100,000 per year will pay 15% on the first $49,020, 20.5% on the income from $49,021 to $98,040, and 26% on the remaining $1,960.
This works out to $17,912, which is much lower than the $26,000 one might assume. In reality, with tax deductions, it is likely to be even lower.
