Alberta’s 2026 lowest rate is 8%, with additional brackets at 10%, 12%, 13%, 14%, and 15%. The provincial basic personal amount is $22,769 — among the highest in Canada — which keeps more of a mid-range salary in your pocket before other deductions.
CRA payroll formulas include an Alberta tax credit (factor K5P) that can reduce provincial tax when personal and CPP/EI credits exceed $4,896. This calculator applies that credit automatically.
