Charitable donation tax credit

Your gift. Your possible credit.

Calculated on your device

Have your eligible donation amount and estimated income ready. This calculates the credit before checking how much tax you owe. Quebec is not supported.

2026 donation calculations are temporarily unavailable while provincial and territorial rules are verified. Use 2025 only for a 2025 claim.

Which income and donation amounts should I use?

Net income sets the ordinary 75% donation limit. Taxable income determines eligibility for the highest credit rate. These can differ after deductions; a T4’s Box 14 is not either of these figures. Use the eligible amount on your receipt, including other eligible gifts you plan to claim this year. Already-claimed gifts cannot be claimed again.
