This table presents income shares, thresholds, tax shares, and total counts of individual Canadian tax filers, with a focus on high income individuals (95% income threshold, 99% threshold, etc.). Income thresholds are geography-specific; for example, the number of Nova Scotians in the top 1% will be calculated as the number of taxfiling Nova Scotians whose total income exceeded the 99% income threshold of Nova Scotian tax filers. Different definitions of income are available in the table namely market, total, and after-tax income, both with and without capital gains.

The province with the smallest average income for the lowest decile was Saskatchewan. By contrast, it was in Alberta that the income of the highest decile was the greatest, with an average after-tax income of almost 260,000 Canadian dollars. It was also in this province that the gap between the two deciles was the most significant.
In four decades, the average after-tax income of Canadians in the lowest decile rose from ***** to ****** Canadian dollars, an increase of around ** percent. The income of those in the highest decile rose by more than ** percent between 1980 and 2021, from ******* to ******* Canadian dollars.
