How the credit is worked out

Federal: the disability amount ($10,341 for 2026), plus the supplement if the person is under 18 at the end of the year, times the lowest federal rate, 14%.
The supplement: up to $6,032, less any child care and attendant care expenses claimed for the person above $3,533.
Provincial or territorial: your province's own disability amount times its lowest rate. Most provinces also have a supplement for children; it isn't included here.
Approval first: you need the CRA to approve Form T2201, the Disability Tax Credit Certificate, signed by a medical practitioner.

Adults (18 or older at the end of 2026). Federal: $10,341 × 14% = $1,447.74. Provincial amounts are from each province's 2026 TD1 form. Quebec has its own credit, the amount for a severe and prolonged impairment in mental or physical functions, claimed on line 376 of the TP-1. We could not confirm the 2026 figure from Revenu Québec, so only the federal credit is shown.

Questions people ask

+How much disability tax credit will I get in 2026?

Federally, the disability amount is $10,341, worth $1,447.74 off your tax (14%). Your province adds its own: in Ontario $10,494 at 5.05%, another $529.95, for $1,977.69 in all. It only saves you tax you would otherwise owe, unless you transfer the unused part.

+How much is the disability tax credit for a child?

For someone under 18 at the end of 2026, a supplement of up to $6,032 is added to the $10,341 federal amount, so up to $16,373, or $2,292.22 of federal tax. The supplement goes down by the child care and attendant care expenses claimed for the child above $3,533. A parent or other supporting person usually claims it, since a child rarely owes tax.

+Is the disability tax credit refundable?

No. It reduces the tax you owe and is not paid out on its own. If you can’t use all of it, a spouse, common-law partner or another supporting family member can claim the unused part. Being approved for the DTC also opens other programs, such as the Registered Disability Savings Plan and the Canada Disability Benefit.

+Can I claim the disability tax credit for past years?

Yes, going back up to 10 years, for the years the CRA approves. If you ticked the box on the application the CRA reassesses those returns itself; otherwise you ask for the changes through your CRA account or by letter. What each past year is worth depends on that year's amounts and the tax you owed, so this calculator shows 2026 only.

+Which province gives the most for the disability tax credit?

Saskatchewan: its disability amount of $14,266 at 10.5% adds $1,497.93 to the federal $1,447.74.
