Capital Gains Tax by Province, 2026

In every province, half of a capital gain is added to your taxable income, so the rate on the gain is half of your combined federal and provincial marginal rate. It varies from province to province because the provincial brackets differ. Pick yours for the rate by income and worked examples, or use the calculator.
