Saskatchewan taxes income at 10.5%, 12.5% and 14.5%, with a basic personal amount of $20,381. Sales tax is the 5% GST plus a 6% PST, which makes 11% on most goods.
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. The limits page 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 covers Saskatchewan, and the sales tax guide compares the provinces.
