Saskatchewan doesn't win many tax races at low incomes, but it wins the one at the top: the lowest combined top rate of any province, and one of the larger personal amounts, which the province is raising every year until 2028. Add a 6% PST, no land transfer tax and a small probate fee, and it's a quietly competitive place to earn a good income. The calculator above runs your numbers.
