Disability Tax Credit Estimator

Pick your province and the claimant's age, and see an estimate of the federal and provincial disability tax credit for the 2026 tax year. This is an estimate only. The disability tax credit is non-refundable: it can reduce the tax you owe to zero, but it does not pay out money on its own. The CRA must approve Form T2201 before anything is claimed. This is not tax or medical advice.

The federal credit is the same everywhere. The provincial credit depends on the province's own disability amount and lowest tax rate. Quebec runs its own provincial credit through Revenu Québec, so only the federal credit is shown for Quebec.

A person under 18 at the end of the year gets an extra federal supplement, and most provinces add their own supplement. The supplement can be reduced if child care or attendant care expenses are claimed for the child.

Transferring does not change the size of the credit. It changes who claims it: if the person with the disability owes little or no tax, the unused part can be transferred to a supporting spouse or dependant who does owe tax.

Your estimated disability tax credit

The credit is the disability amount multiplied by the lowest tax rate. The federal amount for 2026 is $10,341 at the 14% lowest federal rate, worth $1,448. For a child under 18, the federal supplement of up to $6,032 is worth up to $844 more. Read the guide for the application steps, then confirm with the CRA before you claim anything.

How the estimate works (2026 amounts, as published)

Tax year. Every figure on this page is for the 2026 tax year. No 2025 figure is used.

Federal credit. The federal disability amount for 2026 is $10,341. At the lowest federal rate of 14%, that is worth $1,448 in federal tax reduction. The supplement for a person under 18 is up to $6,032, worth up to $844 at 14%, for a combined federal maximum of $16,373 in amounts and $2,292 in tax reduction. The supplement is reduced dollar-for-dollar by attendant care or child care expenses claimed for the child above $3,533; this calculator shows the full supplement and says so plainly.

Provincial credit. Each province multiplies its own disability amount by its lowest tax rate. The 2026 provincial disability amounts and lowest rates used here are: Alberta $17,563 at 8% ($1,405; child supplement $13,180, worth $2,459); British Columbia $9,913 at 5.6% ($555; child supplement $5,783, worth $879); Manitoba $6,180 at 10.8% ($667; child supplement $3,605, worth $1,057); New Brunswick $10,210 at 9.4% ($960; child supplement $5,955, worth $1,520); Newfoundland and Labrador $7,549 at 8.7% ($657; child supplement $3,553, worth $966); Nova Scotia $7,341 at 8.79% ($645; child supplement $3,449, worth $948); Ontario $10,494 at 5.05% ($530; child supplement $6,121, worth $839); Prince Edward Island $6,890 at 9.5% ($655; child supplement $4,019, worth $1,036); Saskatchewan $14,266 at 10.5% ($1,498; child supplement $14,266, worth $2,996).

Territories. Northwest Territories $14,758 at 5.9% ($871); Nunavut $16,733 at 4% ($669); Yukon $10,341 at 6.4% ($662). The under-18 supplement for the territories was not verified at build time, so for a claimant under 18 in a territory this calculator shows the adult amount only and says so. Check the CRA before claiming a supplement there.

Quebec. Quebec's provincial disability credit is separate and runs through Revenu Québec. Only the federal credit is shown for Quebec. Check Revenu Québec for the provincial amount.

What this estimator leaves out. Whether the impairment qualifies (the CRA decides that on Form T2201), the reduction of the child supplement by care expenses, retroactive claims for earlier years, and any other credit the claimant may have. The amounts shown are maximums, assuming enough tax is owed to use them or that a supporting family member claims the unused part.

Sources: Canada Revenue Agency, Indexation adjustment for personal income tax and benefit amounts (Canada.ca), for the 2026 federal disability amount of $10,341 and the child supplement of $6,032. Provincial disability amounts and lowest rates are from the 2026 non-refundable personal tax credit tables published by TaxTips.ca, cross-checked against the KPMG 2026 personal tax tables and the CRA's 2026 TD1 forms. The 14% lowest federal rate for 2026 is as published by the CRA. Where a figure could not be verified, this page says to check the official page instead of stating it.
