This calculator includes the same taxes and tax credits as the detailed Canadian Tax Calculator, as well as AMT where applicable.
 Increased inclusion rate for capital gains has been included, but when legislation is passed, changes may be required.
Calculations are based on rates known as of October 31, 2024.

This calculator is intended to be used for planning purposes.  It does not include every available tax credit.  We strive for accuracy, but cannot guarantee it. Before making a major financial decision you should consult a qualified tax professional.

Alternative minimum tax (AMT) is calculated where applicable, but the Detailed Calculator is better suited for calculating AMT, as deductions and tax credits can be entered. Individuals who may be subject to AMT, or who do not have a simple tax situation, should be seeking advice from a tax lawyer or CPA tax specialist.

Although legislation has not yet been passed for the capital gains inclusion rate to 2/3rds effective June 25, 2024 for capital gains over $250,000, we have included this change in the calculator. It is possible that the calculator may change when complete information is available.

Tax Tip: Don't avoid Canadian dividends just because of the OAS clawback - they are more tax-efficient than most other income, and can reduce your taxes even though your clawback is increasing!
