Canadian Capital Gains Atlas
Compare reported gains across Canada, provinces and territories. See how the average differs from the median and explore income groups.
Detailed data: tax years 2016–2023. Source: Statistics Canada. Pilot dated September 14, 2026. Reported gains include multiple types of assets.
Income groups follow the source definition and exclude capital gains. The amount measure is already grossed up from the taxable portion. CPI changes the display basis; it does not change income-group membership.

Source and method. Statistics Canada Table 11-10-0070-01, both sexes; annual observations 2016–2023. Mean = reported amount divided by recipients. Constant-dollar values use Table 18-10-0005-01, Canada annual all-items CPI.
Not available means the source does not publish that statistic. Totals, counts and medians have different units and cannot be aggregated interchangeably. This is not a measure of investment returns, all-filer participation or tax owed.
