Understanding Your Tax Contribution
This visualization shows how your income tax contributions are allocated across different government programs and services based on current government spending patterns. Amounts under $20 are grouped into "Other" for conciseness.
Your tax contributions are approximated based on employment income. Deductions such as basic personal amount are estimated and included. Other sources of income, such as self-employment, investment income, and capital gains, are not included in the calculations. Deductions such as RRSP and FHSA contributions are also not included. Tax calculations are based on 2025 federal and provincial tax brackets.
Government spending is based on 2023-2024 fiscal spending. Attempts have been made to merge similar categories across federal and provincial spending.
For further breakdowns of spending, see Federal and Provincial spending pages.
