Alberta rules that shape your plan

A plan for an Alberta household is built on Alberta numbers. These are the 2026 figures we work from: a top combined tax rate of 48%, below British Columbia and Ontario, a probate fee capped at $525, and corporate rules that matter for incorporated professionals.

Income tax in Alberta, 2026

Alberta taxes income at 8% up to $61,200, 10% to $154,259, 12% to $185,111, 13% to $246,813, 14% to $370,220 and 15% above that. Federal rates run from 14% to 33% on top. The highest combined rate is 48%, on taxable income above $370,220.

Probate in Alberta

The court fee for a grant of probate or administration is set by the net value of property in Alberta: $35 up to $10,000, $135 up to $25,000, $275 up to $125,000, $400 up to $250,000, and $525 above $250,000. Because the fee stops at $525, the larger costs at death are usually the tax on registered accounts and capital gains, not probate.

Professional corporations in Alberta

Active business income in an Alberta corporation is taxed at 11% combined up to the $500,000 small business limit, and 23% above it. In Alberta, a physician's or dentist's spouse must hold non-voting shares, which shapes how a medical or dental corporation pays dividends to the family.

Financial advice in Sherwood Park: common questions

Honest answers to the questions we hear most often.

Yes, by video. Kaetyn works with clients across Canada, and meetings can be held virtually anywhere in Alberta. If you would rather meet in person, meetings are held in Calgary.

There are no hidden fees: we explain every cost before you commit to anything, including our advisory fee and fund costs. Investment management is fee-based, as a percentage of assets under management, and financial planning and insurance services may have separate fee structures. The first conversation is a free, no-obligation review.

For 2026, the highest combined federal and Alberta rate is 48%, on taxable income above $370,220. Alberta's own rates start at 8% on the first $61,200. The Alberta tax calculator shows your marginal and average rate.

Deferring CPP from 65 to 70 increases the payment by 42 percent, permanently and indexed. For a healthy high earner with capital to bridge the gap, deferral is frequently the highest-return, lowest-risk decision in the plan. The CPP calculator compares start ages from 60 to 70.

Credentials, registration and plain answers about fees. Kaetyn holds the CFA, CIM, CIWM, FCSI and CEA designations and is a representative of Designed Securities Ltd., regulated by CIRO and a member of CIPF. Ask whether the advisor plans across your personal and corporate accounts or only manages investments. We do both: tax optimization, retirement projections, insurance analysis, estate planning and corporate structuring.
