Quebec tax brackets 2026
| Taxable income | Quebec rate |
|---|---|
| up to $54,345 | 14% |
| $54,345 to $108,680 | 19% |
| $108,680 to $132,245 | 24% |
| over $132,245 | 25.75% |
Each rate applies only to the slice of taxable income in its bracket. Thresholds rose 2.05% with inflation for 2026. Quebec tax comes on top of federal tax, whose brackets are on the Canada income tax calculator.
Tax credits
Quebec's basic personal amount is $18,952, credited at 14%: it cuts Quebec tax by $2,653.28. Federally you get the $16,452 basic personal amount and $1,501 Canada employment amount at 14%, plus credits for base QPP, EI and QPIP, all before the abatement.
Two tax returns
Quebec runs its own income tax. You file a federal return with CRA and a Quebec return (TP-1) with Revenu Québec, and your employer deducts both taxes separately. Quebec has four brackets (14% / 19% / 24% / 25.75%) and an $18,952 basic personal amount credited at 14%. Quebec gives no separate credit for QPP, EI or QPIP premiums.
Federal abatement
Because Quebec funds some programs itself, Quebec residents get 16.5% off their basic federal tax. On $75,000 it is worth $1,354.72, which makes the federal rates effectively 11.69% / 17.12% / 21.71% / 24.21% / 27.56%.
QPP, EI and QPIP
Quebec workers pay the QPP instead of the CPP: 6.3% of earnings between $3,500 and $74,600 (up to $4,479.30, against $4,230.45 for CPP), plus QPP2 of 4% up to $85,000. EI is lower, 1.3% instead of 1.63%, because parental benefits come from the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan, which charges 0.43% on earnings up to $103,000 (at most $442.90).
Deduction for workers
Quebec lets employees deduct 6% of employment income, up to $1,450, on the Quebec return only. The calculator applies it; it is worth $275.50 of Quebec tax at $75,000. Not included: the amount for a person living alone ($2,172, reduced above $42,955 of income) and other household credits, and the health services fund contribution, which applies to non-employment income.
Worked example: $75,000 in Quebec
- QPP: 6.3% of earnings between $3,500 and $74,600 is $4,479.30, plus $16 of QPP2. EI: 1.3% of insurable earnings is $895.70; QPIP adds $322.50.
- Taxable income: the enhanced QPP ($711) and QPP2 ($16) are deducted, leaving $74,273.
- Federal tax: the brackets give $11,421.97. Credits of $22,939.50 (basic personal amount $16,452, Canada employment amount $1,501, base QPP $3,768.30, EI and QPIP $1,218.20) × 14% = $3,211.53, so basic federal tax is $8,210.44. The 16.5% Quebec abatement takes off $1,354.72, leaving $6,855.72.
- Quebec tax: the deduction for workers ($1,450) brings Quebec taxable income to $72,823. The brackets give $11,119.12, less 14% of the $18,952 basic personal amount ($2,653.28): Quebec tax is $8,465.84.
- Take-home: $75,000 − $6,855.72 − $8,465.84 − $4,495.30 − $1,218.20 = $53,964.94, or $4,497.08 a month and $2,075.57 every two weeks.
