Saskatchewan taxes come in three layers: a 10.5% provincial rate on your first $54,532 of taxable income for 2026, a 6% PST on most purchases, and the federal tax that every province shares. On a $60,000 salary you pay $9,140.68 in federal and Saskatchewan income tax, which is 15.2% of your pay.
What are the Saskatchewan income tax brackets for 2026?
There are three steps, and the province has no surtax and no health premium. That keeps the maths plain: your provincial tax is the bracket tax minus a credit on the basic personal amount.
| Item | 2026 figure |
|---|---|
| Provincial rate up to $54,532 | 10.5% |
| Provincial rate from $54,532 to $155,805 | 12.5% |
| Provincial rate above $155,805 | 14.5% |
| Basic personal amount | $20,381 |
| Provincial credit rate on that amount | 10.5% |
| Provincial sales tax (PST) | 6% |
Everyone gets the basic personal amount, so the first $20,381 of your income attracts no provincial tax. Put another way, that credit is worth about $2,140 a year (10.5% of $20,381) before anything else is counted. The brackets move up with inflation each year, and the basic personal amount rose by $500 on top of that for 2026.
The federal brackets and the rest of the national rate table are on the CRA’s tax rates and income brackets page. For the province on its own, see our Saskatchewan tax overview.
How much Saskatchewan tax comes off a $60,000 or $100,000 salary?
We ran both through the income tax calculator with the province set to Saskatchewan and a plain salary, nothing else.
At $60,000, Saskatchewan takes $3,802.38 and Ottawa takes $5,338.30. CPP and EI add $4,339.75, so you keep $46,519.57.
At $100,000, Saskatchewan takes $8,641.02 and federal tax is $13,301.60. That’s $21,942.61 in income tax, or 21.9% of your pay. After $5,769.52 of CPP and EI you keep $72,287.87.
Notice that taxable income comes out a little below your salary (about $59,435 on $60,000). That’s because part of your CPP contribution (the extra 1% above the old base) comes off your income before tax is worked out, and you don’t have to claim it. Nice, and automatic.
What does that look like on a paycheque?
Take Sam, who lives in Regina and earns $60,000 a year. Spread the $46,519.57 take-home over 26 pay periods and each paycheque lands at about $1,789. Over 12 months it works out to roughly $3,877 a month. Those are ballpark figures, since your employer’s withholding, benefits and union dues will nudge them.
Sam’s average rate on income tax alone is 15.2%, but the rate on the next dollar earned is higher, because Sam is already past the first provincial step. A raise gets taxed at the higher slice, not on the whole salary.
Is the Saskatchewan PST 6% on everything?
No, and this is where people get caught. The 6% applies to many goods and some services, and the GST of 5% sits on top. On a $100 item the GST and PST calculator shows $5 of GST and $6 of PST, so you pay $111. Both taxes are worked out on the price before tax.
The same maths on a $250 jacket gives $12.50 of GST and $15 of PST, so the till says $277.50. A few bucks here and there add up over a year.
Some items are exempt from one tax and not the other. The province's PST bulletins list basic groceries, prescription drugs and books as exempt, and they list snack foods and prepared food as taxable. Children's clothing has been taxable since the 2017 budget removed that exemption. The full list changes, so read the province's PST pages before you rely on a rate for something unusual.
What if you run a business in Saskatchewan?
Corporate tax is a different system. The CRA lists a general provincial rate of 12% and a small business rate of 1%, with a small business limit of $600,000. Federal tax on a small corporation is 9% after the small business deduction. Put the two together and $100,000 of active business income costs $10,000 in the corporate tax calculator. Provincial budget summaries from EY and KPMG say the March 2026 budget left the 1% and 12% rates and the $600,000 limit unchanged. Because the federal limit is $500,000, the band from $500,000 to $600,000 pays 15% federal plus 1% provincial, or 16%. Check the province's own page before you plan around the 1%.
If you work for yourself instead, you pay tax on your net business income and both halves of CPP. On $60,000 of net income the self-employed tax calculator gives $8,640.28 of income tax and $6,723.50 of CPP, which is $15,363.78 in total.
What does this not cover?
It doesn’t cover the Saskatchewan Low-Income Tax Credit or other refundable credits, since those depend on your family and income. The calculator also counts only the basic personal amount and the standard employment credits. Age and pension amounts exist in Saskatchewan, but they need your real figures. The tax credits calculator is federal only.
Finally, payroll tables and your final return can differ. Your employer withholds an estimate, and for the 2026 return the balance owing is due April 30, 2027 for most people. If you are self-employed you file by June 15, 2027, but you still pay by April 30, 2027. The CRA has confirmed those 2027 dates for the self-employed, and our taxes due guide has the full list.
Where these numbers come from
Brackets and the basic personal amount come from the Government of Saskatchewan's 2026 personal income tax structure page, which we re-read in November 2026 (10.5% to $54,532, 12.5% to $155,805, 14.5% above, basic personal amount $20,381). The federal and CPP and EI figures match our 2026 vs 2027 tax numbers, and the 2027 Saskatchewan brackets are not published yet. The CRA's 2027 deadlines for the self-employed confirm the June 15 and April 30 dates. This site has no link to the CRA or the province.
Frequently asked questions
What are the Saskatchewan income tax rates for 2026?
They are 10.5% on the first $54,532 of taxable income, 12.5% on the next $101,273 up to $155,805, and 14.5% above that. The basic personal amount is $20,381, so the first $20,381 of income carries no provincial tax. The 2027 brackets are not published yet.
How much tax do I pay on $60,000 in Saskatchewan?
Federal and provincial income tax comes to $9,140.68, or 15.2% of pay: $5,338.30 federal and $3,802.38 provincial. CPP and EI add $4,339.75, so about $46,519.57 stays in your pocket before benefits, union dues or other deductions. Spread over 26 pay periods, that is about $1,789 per paycheque.
Does Saskatchewan charge HST?
No. You pay 5% GST plus 6% PST on most taxable purchases, so a $100 item costs $111. Basic groceries and prescription drugs are exempt from PST, while snack foods and prepared food are taxable. Check the province's PST bulletins for unusual items.
Is there a provincial surtax or health premium in Saskatchewan?
Not on the province's 2026 structure page, which lists only the three rates and the credit amounts. Provincial tax is the bracket tax minus a 10.5% credit on your total credit amounts, starting with the $20,381 basic personal amount. That credit is worth about $2,140 a year before anything else is counted.
When is my Saskatchewan return due?
For the 2026 return, April 30, 2027 for most people and June 15, 2027 if you or your spouse are self-employed, with any balance still due April 30, 2027. The CRA's page for businesses and the self-employed confirms the 2027 dates, and April 30 for others follows the same rule.
