Tax rates for Nunavut

👈 Back to Tax rates for Canada

A simple breakdown of Nunavut’s tax rates by income range.

Think of it like a ‘tax ladder’: at the lowest rung, you don’t pay any tax on income below your basic personal amount (below). As your income climbs into a higher range, you don’t pay the higher rate on all your income — just on the portion that falls into that range. You can use a tax calculator (like the EY 2026 Personal tax calculator) to calculate your estimated after-tax income.

Remember, these numbers are just guidelines; your personal situation and tax credits will change what you actually owe.

Basic personal amount (BPA)

You don’t owe provincial taxes if your income is less than the NU basic personal amount.
