Saskatchewan taxes come in two layers you’ll notice: income tax at 10.5%, 12.5% or 14.5% depending on your bracket, and a 6% provincial sales tax on taxable purchases. Federal income tax is charged on top. Someone earning $80,000 as an employee pays about $15,409 in combined income tax for 2026, which is an average rate near 19%.
What are the Saskatchewan income tax rates for 2026?
There are only three brackets, which is fewer than most provinces.
| Taxable income | Saskatchewan rate |
|---|---|
| Up to $54,532 | 10.5% |
| $54,532 to $155,805 | 12.5% |
| Over $155,805 | 14.5% |
A lot of salaried incomes sit inside that wide middle bracket, so 12.5% is the provincial rate to remember when you’re pricing a raise or a deduction.
Each rate applies only to income within its bracket.

Say Dana in Moose Jaw gets a $5,000 raise. Using the roughly 31.5% combined rate for her bracket, about $1,575 goes to income tax and she keeps around $3,425 of it. That’s a decent bump, not a pay cut, even though the tax bite is real.
Why is the basic amount such a big deal here?
Saskatchewan’s basic personal amount is $20,381 for 2026, per the CRA payroll tables. That’s far higher than the federal $16,452, and it means the first chunk of your income carries very little provincial tax. The credit is worked out at the lowest rate, 10.5%, so it takes about $2,140 off your provincial bill.
Seniors get more, and it’s a real difference. The provincial pages show an age amount of $5,901, reduced when net income is between $43,927 and $83,267, and a senior supplement of $2,569 for anyone 65 or over on 31 December 2026. Our calculators don’t model those two, so a retired reader’s real tax will come out lower than our estimate.
What does $60,000 or $80,000 cost in Saskatchewan?
Here are our figures for an employee with no other income, using the income tax calculator. They include basic credits only, plus CPP and EI, and nothing else.
| Employment income | Federal tax | Saskatchewan tax | Total income tax |
|---|---|---|---|
| $30,000 | $1,397 | $793 | $2,190 |
| $60,000 | $5,338 | $3,802 | $9,141 |
| $100,000 | $13,302 | $8,641 | $21,943 |
At $60,000 the average rate is 15.2%. Take-home is about $46,520 once roughly $4,340 of CPP and EI comes off too. The take-home pay calculator shows the paycheque view.
How does it compare with New Brunswick on the same $60,000? About $472 more there in combined income tax by our numbers. Saskatchewan’s edge grows with income: at $100,000 the gap is about $1,073.
What does that mean for the next dollar?
At $70,000 the marginal tax rate calculator shows about 31.5% in Saskatchewan. That’s the federal 20.5% plus 12.5%, trimmed a little by the CPP and EI credits on the extra earnings. So an extra $1,000 of overtime leaves you roughly $685 after income tax.
How does the 6% sales tax work?
Saskatchewan’s own page describes the PST as 6% on taxable goods and services bought, rented or imported for use in the province. GST is a separate federal tax on top, so a taxable purchase carries both. On a $1,000 taxable item, that’s $50 of GST and $60 of PST, so you pay $1,110. What’s taxable and what isn’t is a longer list than we’ve verified, so check the province’s PST bulletins for a specific item.
To back a price out of a total, the GST and PST calculator does the sum. We haven’t checked which items it treats as taxable, so test it on a receipt you already have.
Which province’s rate applies if you moved?
The province you lived in on 31 December. If you left Regina for Calgary in the fall, Alberta’s rates apply to the whole year. That’s the CRA’s rule, and it’s why a mid-year move doesn’t mean splitting a return between two provinces.
Where will these figures miss?
Our numbers ignore anything you can deduct or claim beyond the basics, which is the biggest reason your own return will come out different from the tables above. That includes tuition, medical costs, donations and an RRSP contribution. Self-employed people should also know that our tool handles CPP a bit differently than a payroll system and leaves out EI.
Dividends get their own credit in Saskatchewan, and the 2026 dividend credit rates in our data come from secondary sources. If you live on dividends, use the dividend tax calculator only as a rough guide and confirm on your return.
Where we got these figures
Rates come from the Canada Revenue Agency‘s 2026 tax rates page, re-read in October 2026, and its January 2026 payroll tables for Saskatchewan. The basic and senior amounts match the Government of Saskatchewan’s 2026 personal income tax structure page and the CRA’s TD1SK form. The PST description is from saskatchewan.ca. We aren’t a government service and we don’t speak for one.
