Our top rate of 17.4% is middle-of-the-pack. It&#8217;s higher than Saskatchewan&#8217;s 14.5% but completely reasonable compared to Quebec&#8217;s brutal 25.75% top rate.

Could be worse\u2014you could be paying Vancouver housing prices AND higher taxes.<\/p>\n\n    <p>But here&#8217;s the nuance: Manitoba&#8217;s brackets are narrower, meaning you hit that top rate faster than in some provinces. If you&#8217;re earning $75,000, you&#8217;re paying Manitoba&#8217;s highest rate. In Ontario, you wouldn&#8217;t hit their top bracket until over $220,000.
