Corrections

When we get something wrong, we fix it and say so here: the date, what was wrong, what changed and, for a figure, the source that settles it. Nothing is changed quietly.

Report an error

Email [email protected] with the page, the figure and, if you have one, the source that contradicts it. We check every report against the primary source. If we got it wrong, the fix goes live and gets logged below. If the source backs the figure, it stays.

What gets logged

  • Any figure, calculation or factual claim that was wrong.
  • Any bug that stopped part of a page from working.

Updates are not corrections. When a newer official release replaces a figure, the page shows the new figure and its review date moves, but nothing was wrong, so it is not logged here. Spelling and wording fixes that change no fact are not logged either. The rules behind all of this are in our editorial standards.

  1. Corrected

    Calculator used the wrong 2026 Canada Employment Amount

    What was wrong: The calculator used $1,500 as the 2026 Canada Employment Amount, the most an employee can claim for this federal tax credit. CRA publishes $1,501. Federal income tax was overstated by up to 14 cents a year, which moved some totals shown on the site by a dollar.

    What changed: The calculator now uses $1,501, and every figure it produces was recalculated. It now agrees to within a cent with an independent calculation that follows CRA’s published method, at five test incomes from $30,000 to $300,000.

    Source: Canada Revenue Agency, Indexation adjustment for personal income tax and benefit amounts, Table “Amounts relating to non-refundable tax credits”, row “Canada employment amount (maximum)”, 2026.

    Where: Tax calculator, every income-level page (Tax on $X income), Tax brackets 2026, Methodology, Alberta tax advantage, Alberta vs Canada average

  2. Corrected

    Income box overflowed on phones

    What was wrong: On phones, the income box was wider than the screen. It pushed the income step off the side of the screen and cut off the preset income buttons.

    What changed: The box now shrinks to fit the screen.

    Where: Tax calculator

  3. Corrected

    Quiz lost keyboard focus after an answer

    What was wrong: Answering the opening quiz removed the button that had keyboard focus, so focus fell back to the page itself and the next Tab skipped the “See YOUR number” button.

    What changed: The result now takes focus as it appears, so screen readers announce it and Tab reaches the button.

    Where: Tax calculator
