How federal and Nunavut tax work
Every Canadian paycheque starts with the same federal layer: these 2026 brackets, applied to your full income, then a $16,452 Basic Personal Amount credited at the lowest rate.
| Taxable income | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 – $58,523 | 14% |
| $58,523 – $117,045 | 20.5% |
| $117,045 – $181,440 | 26% |
| $181,440 – $258,482 | 29% |
| $258,482 and above | 33% |
On top of federal tax, Canada Pension Plan (CPP) withholds 5.95% on earnings between $3,500 and $74,600 (plus a second tier at 4.0% up to $85,000), and Employment Insurance withholds 1.63% up to $68,900.
Nunavut then charges its own income tax on these brackets:
| Taxable income | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 – $55,801 | 4% |
| $55,801 – $111,602 | 7% |
| $111,602 – $181,439 | 9% |
| $181,439 and above | 11.5% |
What this estimate simplifies
The lowest tax rates in Canada: four brackets from 4% to 11.5%.
Every figure assumes a single filer with no dependents claiming only the Basic Personal Amount, with no other income. See Aftertax's European methodology for the same principle applied across the site.

Common questions
Is this my exact take-home pay in Nunavut?
No. It is an estimate for comparison, based on 2026 federal and Nunavut tax rules for a single filer with no dependents claiming only the Basic Personal Amount. It does not account for your filing status, credits specific to you, or income other than salary. Treat it as a well-informed ballpark, not a pay stub.
What does the Nunavut figure include?
Federal income tax (after the $16,452 Basic Personal Amount credit), Canada Pension Plan (CPP) at 5.95% on earnings between $3,500 and $74,600 (plus a second tier at 4% up to $85,000), Employment Insurance at 1.63% up to $68,900, and Nunavut's own income tax. The lowest tax rates in Canada: four brackets from 4% to 11.5%.
Why is the Basic Personal Amount a credit and not a deduction?
Canada computes federal and provincial tax on your full income first, then subtracts a flat credit (the Basic Personal Amount multiplied by the lowest bracket rate) from the result — unlike, say, the US standard deduction, which reduces taxable income before brackets apply. The practical effect is similar: a slice of your income is effectively tax-free.
Why might my real Nunavut take-home pay be different?
Common reasons: you are married or have children and claim additional credits; you contribute to an RRSP, which lowers taxable income; you live somewhere with a municipal or regional variation not captured here; or part of your pay is a bonus taxed on a different basis. Always confirm important numbers with a tax professional or the CRA.
