Federal Basic Personal Amount
2022 Personal Amount (1)	2022 Tax Rate				2021 Personal Amount (1)	2021 Tax Rate
$14,398	15%				$13,808	15%

(1) The personal amount is increased federally and for Yukon:

- for 2022: from $12,719 to $14,398 for taxpayers with net income (line 23600) of $155,625 or less. For incomes above this threshold, the additional amount of $1,679 is reduced until it becomes zero at net income of $221,708.

- for 2021: from $12,421 to $13,808 for taxpayers with net income (line 23600) of $151,978 or less. For incomes above this threshold, the additional amount of $1,387 is reduced until it becomes zero at net income of $216,511.

The minimum personal amounts ($12,719 for 2022, $12,421 for 2021) are indexed.

The maximum personal amounts are stated in the Income Tax Act, but will be indexed after 2023. See Enhanced Basic Personal Amount.

The marginal tax rates in blue above have been adjusted to reflect these changes. The table of marginal tax rates assume that line 23600 net income is equal to taxable income for this purpose.

For 2022, the marginal rate for $155,625 to $221,708 is 29.38% because of the above-noted personal amount reduction through this tax bracket. The additional 0.38% is calculated as 15% x ($14,398 - $12,719) / ($221,708 - $155,625).

For 2021, the marginal rate for $151,978 to $216,511 is 29.32% because of the above-noted personal amount reduction through this tax bracket. The additional 0.32% is calculated as 15% x ($13,808 - $12,421) / ($216,511 - $151,978).
