Frequently Asked Questions
What are Alberta's provincial income tax brackets?
Alberta has 5 brackets: 10% up to $148,269; 12% up to $177,922; 13% up to $237,230; 14% up to $355,845; and 15% above. The base 10% rate covers a wide income range — most Albertans pay only 10% provincial tax.
Does Alberta have provincial sales tax?
No. Alberta is the only province with no provincial sales tax (PST). Albertans pay only the 5% federal GST on most goods and services, giving Alberta one of the lowest combined consumption tax rates in Canada.
What is Alberta's personal exemption?
Alberta's basic personal amount is $21,003 for 2024 — the highest in Canada. This means the first $21,003 of income is effectively tax-free at the provincial level, significantly reducing tax for lower and middle-income earners.
How does Alberta's tax compare to other provinces?
Alberta generally has the lowest combined (federal + provincial) tax rate of any province for incomes under $150,000, due to its high personal amount, low bottom bracket, and no PST. For a $100,000 salary, Alberta's total tax burden is typically $5,000–$10,000 lower than Quebec or Ontario.
