Overview
In 2026, thresholds and credit amounts will rise by 2%. Alberta's government has kept its promise to lower income taxes for Albertans. Effective January 1, 2025, we introduced a new personal income tax bracket of 8% on the first $60,000 of income.
- The new tax bracket saved individuals up to $750 in 2025.
Alberta has the highest basic personal and spousal amounts among provinces. This means that Albertans are able to earn more before they have to start paying provincial income tax.
