Modest Income
The following table provides a guideline to determine what is considered a modest income. In general, a modest income means the total family income is less than the amount shown in the chart below, based on the size of the family.
| Family size | Total family income |
|---|---|
| 1 person | $35,000 |
| 2 people | $45,000 |
| 3 people | $47,500 |
| 4 people | $50,000 |
| 5 people | $52,500 |
| More than 5 people | $52,500, plus $2,500 for each additional person |
Family size includes an individual, or a couple, and their dependents.
Simple tax situation
In general, a tax situation is simple if an individual has no income or if their income comes from these sources:
- employment
- pension
- benefits, such as the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, disability insurance, employment insurance, and social assistance
- Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs)
- scholarships, fellowships, bursaries, or grants
- interest (under $1,000)
