Government of Canada 2025-26: Main Estimates 2025-26 by organisation, with the Finance and Employment and Social Development lines apportioned across their components using the Annual Financial Report 2024-25 outturn (planned, not audited outturn).
- •Allocation is proportional to published spending, not a trace of your actual dollars. No specific payment funds a specific programme.
- •Governments run deficits, so total spending exceeds total tax revenue. These shares show the composition of spending, not a balanced ledger.
- •Provincial figures cover provincial and territorial governments only. Municipal and school board spending is excluded, because provincial income tax does not fund it.
What to check before trusting this
- •Figures are for tax year 2025, including the mid-year reduction of the lowest federal rate to 14% (blended 14.5% for the year). Confirm against CRA's published indexation before filing.
