Questions people ask
+What are the federal tax brackets for 2026?
14% on the first $58,523; 20.5% from $58,523 to $117,045; 26% from $117,045 to $181,440; 29% from $181,440 to $258,482; 33% over $258,482.
+Does moving into a higher bracket mean I take home less?
No. A higher rate only applies to the dollars above the bracket threshold, so a raise always leaves you with more after tax. Some benefits that shrink with income (like the Canada Child Benefit) can make the effective rate on extra income higher, but income tax brackets alone never do.
