🇨🇦 Canada · Salaries

Typical salaries by role in Canada — pay ranges, taxes, and cost-of-living context.

In Canada the minimum wage is set provincially/territorially (roughly CAD 15–20/hour in 2026), with a separate federal minimum (CAD 18.15/hour from April 2026) for federally-regulated industries. For official wages by occupation and region, the Government's Job Bank wage tool and Statistics Canada are authoritative.

  • Minimum wage is set by each province/territory (about CAD 15–20/hour in 2026); a federal minimum applies to federally-regulated sectors.
  • Most provinces index increases to inflation — check the official rate for your province.
  • Job Bank's wage tool shows minimum/median/maximum wages by occupation and region.
  • Pay is quoted gross; federal and provincial taxes reduce take-home — see this country's tax page.
