Quick Answer

How are income taxes calculated in Canada?

Income tax in Canada is calculated using federal and provincial progressive brackets. The federal system has 5 brackets (15-33%) and each province sets its own rates (e.g., Ontario 5.05-13.16%). CPP (5.95%) and EI (1.66%) are deducted from employment income. RRSP contributions reduce taxable income. The TFSA and FHSA provide tax-free growth and withdrawals. The Basic Personal Amount ($15,705 for 2025) is a non-refundable credit that reduces federal tax.

What is the RRSP deduction limit for 2025?

Your RRSP deduction limit for 2025 is 18% of your 2023 earned income, up to a maximum of $31,560, minus any pension adjustment from a workplace pension plan. Unused room carries forward indefinitely. Contributions must be made within 60 days of year-end (March 1, 2025 for 2025) to count.

What is the TFSA vs RRSP difference?

RRSP: Contributions are tax-deductible, growth is tax-deferred, withdrawals are taxed as income. Best for retirement when your income is lower. TFSA: Contributions are after-tax, growth is tax-free, withdrawals are tax-free. Best for shorter-term goals or when you expect higher income in retirement. The FHSA combines features of both for first home buyers.

What is the FHSA and how does it work?

The First Home Savings Account (FHSA) lets you contribute $8,000/year (up to $40,000 lifetime). Contributions are tax-deductible (like RRSP), and qualified withdrawals for a first home are tax-free (like TFSA). You can hold the account for up to 15 years. It's available for those who haven't owned a home in the current or past 4 calendar years.

How does capital gains tax work in Canada?

In Canada, 50% of capital gains are included in taxable income and taxed at your marginal rate. For 2024, the inclusion rate increases to 66.67% for gains over $250,000 for individuals. Your principal residence is exempt from capital gains tax. Capital losses can be carried back 3 years or forward indefinitely to offset gains.
