(click above links to open either calculator in a new window.)

Major calculator changes for 2024 and 2025:

  • alternative minimum tax changes effective January 1, 2024
  • capital gains inclusion rate change effective June 25, 2024 was cancelled and will not happen

If the calculator or the print page appears messed up after a change (especially in Chrome), clear your cached images and files. As a last resort, a reboot of your computer may be needed.

The income tax calculator, which takes input for both taxpayer and spouse, includes most available deductions and tax credits, and pension splitting.  It is a tax planning tool and financial planning tool, but will not actually file your tax return for you.  It will be especially useful as a tax planning tool for those who have some control over their income, such as

  • people making RRIF/RRSP withdrawals
  • incorporated business owners
  • investors trying to decide between investments which produce capital gains, Canadian dividends, or other investment income

If you hover over many of the fields in the calculator, you will see information regarding that particular field.

The calculator includes links to information on many of the non-refundable tax credits.

FAQ re the Tax Calculators:

Is the "tax savings re RRSPs" the amount of the income tax refund I would get?

Answer:

The  "tax savings re RRSPs" is the amount your income taxes will be reduced for that amount of RRSP contribution (make sure the contribution doesn't exceed your RRSP deduction limit - this is not checked by the calculator).  Compare the total income taxes result from the calculator to what you have actually paid during the year to determine the amount of your refund.

Basic Tax Calculator

If you are looking for a more simple tax calculator, see our Basic Canadian Income Tax Calculator, where you input your income from capital gains, Canadian eligible and non-eligible dividends, and other income, in order to see the taxes payable for a single person.  The Basic Tax Calculator shows the marginal tax rates for each type of income, as well as total income taxes payable for each province for a number of years.
