Tax credits
Yukon's basic personal amount for 2026 is $16,452. Like every territorial credit it is worth the lowest rate, 6.4%, so it cuts Yukon tax by $1,052.93. Base CPP contributions and EI premiums earn the same 6.4% credit. Federally you get $16,452 at 14%, plus the $1,501 Canada employment amount.
Yukon follows the federal credits
Yukon ties its basic personal amount to the federal one, so it also shrinks to $14,829 between $181,440 and $258,482 of net income, adding 0.13% to the Yukon marginal rate there. Yukon is also the only place that gives the $1,501 Canada employment amount on the territorial return, worth $96.06 at 6.4%. Its first three thresholds match the federal ones, and the 15% top rate starts at $500,000, a threshold that is not indexed.
If you live in a prescribed northern zone you can usually claim the northern residents deduction (Form T2222) for living costs and travel. It depends on where and how long you lived there, so it is not included; your actual tax will be lower if you qualify.
Worked example: $75,000 in Yukon
- CPP: 5.95% of earnings between $3,500 and $74,600 is $4,230.45, plus $16 of CPP2. EI: 1.63% of insurable earnings is $1,123.07.
- Taxable income: the enhanced CPP ($711) and CPP2 ($16) are deducted, leaving $74,273.
- Federal tax: the brackets give $11,421.97. Credits of $22,595.52 (basic personal amount $16,452, Canada employment amount $1,501, base CPP $3,519.45, EI $1,123.07) × 14% = $3,163.37, so basic federal tax is $8,258.60.
- Yukon tax: the brackets give $5,162.97. Credits of $22,595.52 (basic personal amount $16,452, base CPP and EI, Canada employment amount) × 6.4% = $1,446.11, leaving $3,716.86. Yukon tax is $3,716.86.
- Take-home: $75,000 − $8,258.60 − $3,716.86 − $4,246.45 − $1,123.07 = $57,655.02, or $4,804.59 a month and $2,217.50 every two weeks.
