Six guides on the numbers behind this site. The first three are the entry points — what Canadians earn, what Canadian families are worth, and how financial independence works under Canadian tax rules — and the next three go narrower, covering income and net worth percentiles and how income breaks down by province.
- Average Income in Canada
What Canadians actually earn, why median and average differ so much, and which Statistics Canada measure you are really looking at.
- Average Net Worth by Age in Canada
Median and average net worth by age group from the Survey of Financial Security, and why the two numbers diverge so widely.
- FIRE in Canada
Financial independence and early retirement under Canadian rules — RRSPs, TFSAs, OAS clawback, GIS, CPP timing, and why US FIRE advice does not transfer.
- Median Income by Province
Median and average income in each Canadian province, and why comparing provinces on gross income alone is misleading.
- Income Percentile in Canada
What income puts you in the top 10%, 25% or 50% in Canada, and how income percentiles are actually estimated.
- Net Worth Percentile in Canada
What net worth puts a Canadian family in the top 10% or 25%, and the limits of published wealth distribution data.
