Assumptions
- A full year at one salary, with no job change, bonus or unpaid leave part way through.
- Employment income only. Nunavut residency for the whole year, and no income from another province.
- Three credits are applied: the basic personal amount, the base CPP contribution, and the EI premium. Credits that depend on your family or personal circumstances are left out.
- The enhanced part of CPP and the whole of CPP2 are deducted from income rather than credited, which is how the Canada Revenue Agency treats them.
- Provincial surtaxes, low income reductions and health premiums are not modelled, so a high salary in a province that charges them will owe more than shown.
- You are an employee on payroll. Self employed earnings work differently and are covered on the contractor page.

Income tax in Nunavut
Nunavut asks less of an income than any other jurisdiction in Canada: 4 percent up to $55,801, 7 percent to $111,602, 9 percent to $181,439, and 11.5 percent on anything above. The top territorial rate is lower than the opening rate in several provinces, and the first two thresholds are again exact doubles.
Its basic personal amount is $19,659, second only to Alberta's, and it is credited at 4 percent. Because the territorial share is so light, the federal line dominates the total in the table above, and CPP and EI account for a larger slice of the deductions than they would in Quebec or Nova Scotia. Nunavut residents can claim the northern residents deduction when they file.
Because credits here are valued at 4 percent, the personal amount, the base CPP contribution and the EI premium are worth less in dollars than the same credits anywhere else, even though the amounts behind them are large. A contribution entered in the RRSP box behaves differently, since it comes off income rather than off tax, and at these territorial rates most of its value lands against the federal line. No other credit is applied.
