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 with details of 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 changes may still be required to the calculator.

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!
