How Prince Edward Island Income Tax Works
Prince Edward Island income tax
PEI’s 2026 brackets run from 9.50% to a new top rate. For July 1 payroll, CRA uses a prorated 21% rate on taxable income above $200,000. The basic personal amount is $15,000 and is not indexed.
Federal tax, CPP, and EI
PEI employees pay federal tax, CPP, and EI. Most salaries under $200,000 are unaffected by the new top provincial bracket.
PEI-specific considerations
Because PEI amounts are not indexed, the $15,000 personal amount stays put unless the province legislates a change.
