# Saskatchewan income tax and PST in 2026

> How Saskatchewan income tax works in 2026: three brackets from 10.5%, a large basic personal amount, the 6% PST and the calculators that switch to it

Saskatchewan's income tax has only three brackets, so the sales tax is the part worth a second look. On a $60,000 income the provincial tax comes to about $4,269. Here's how that works, and what the 11% on a purchase really means.

## What are the brackets for 2026?

You pay 10.5% on your first $54,532 of taxable income, 12.5% on the slice up to $155,805, and 14.5% on everything above. The basic personal amount is $20,381, and credits count at 10.5% of what you claim. These match the [CRA's 2026 tax rates and income brackets](https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/tax-rates-brackets/current-year.html). The [limits page](https://tax-services.ca/tax-numbers) lists the federal layer that sits on top.

Take $60,000. The first $54,532 costs you $5,726 and the other $5,468 costs you $684, which makes $6,409. The basic amount credit takes off $2,140, so you'd pay about $4,269 of Saskatchewan tax. That's about 7 cents on the dollar, and you still file one return that covers the federal share too.

## How does the Saskatchewan system compare?

The middle bracket is wide. A taxable income anywhere between $54,532 and $155,805 is taxed at 12.5%, so a raise in that range doesn't push you into a new rate for a long way. Say Priya in Saskatoon gets a $5,000 raise on that $60,000: all of it is taxed at 12.5%, which is $625 of provincial tax.

The basic personal amount is also among the highest in our 2026 tables, which keeps the tax on a modest income low. If you're weighing a job in Saskatchewan against one elsewhere, compare take-home pay and don't stop at the bracket rates.

## How do PST and GST work in Saskatchewan?

You pay 5% GST and 6% PST as two separate charges, 11% in all on most goods. On a $200 item that's $222. The two are listed separately on a receipt, which helps when you're tracking business purchases. The [GST and PST calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/sales-tax/gst-pst-calculator) covers Saskatchewan, and the [sales tax guide](https://tax-services.ca/guides/gst-hst-pst) compares the provinces.

## Which calculators include it?

The [income tax calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/income-tax/income-tax-calculator) and the [take-home pay calculator](https://tax-services.ca/calculators/payroll-salary/take-home-pay-calculator) both include Saskatchewan. Pick it from the list and the Saskatchewan rates apply. Self-employed? The [self-employed guide](https://tax-services.ca/guides/self-employed-and-small-business) explains the extra steps.

## Before you rely on these numbers

Rates and credits change, so check three things before you act on any figure here: the date at the top of the page, the CRA source named in the text, and your own slip or notice. Your slip or notice wins whenever it differs from a summary like this one.

Don't guess.

Not sure where to start? The [filing guide](https://tax-services.ca/guides/file-your-taxes) walks through the steps, the [document checklist](https://tax-services.ca/checklists/documents-for-your-tax-return) shows what to gather, and the [province index](https://tax-services.ca/provinces) compares other places. Is your situation unusual? A qualified preparer is the right call. This site is independent of the CRA and any government, and can't advise you on your own return.
