Where does your salary rank?
Enter a salary and see what percentile it would land in among Canada’s disclosed public-sector earners. The comparison uses each province’s most recent salary disclosure (its “Sunshine List”), so it reflects real, government-published compensation data.
How the calculator works
Canadian provinces publish the names, employers, job titles, and pay of public-sector employees who earn above a disclosure threshold each year. This tool takes the salary you enter and finds where it falls within that distribution for the province you choose, returning the percentile and how many disclosed employees out-earn it. Because the data only covers employees above each province’s threshold, the percentile compares you against disclosed (higher-earning) public servants — not against every worker in the province.
Disclosure thresholds by province
Each province sets its own threshold for which salaries become public. Here is the lowest disclosed figure and the number of disclosed employees in the most recent year on record:
- Ontario — $100,000+ threshold, 404,922 disclosed employees (2025).
- British Columbia — $75,000+ threshold, 44,577 disclosed employees (2025).
- Alberta — $125,000+ threshold, 6,511 disclosed employees (2024).
- Manitoba — $85,000+ threshold, 41,495 disclosed employees (2024).
- Newfoundland & Labrador — $100,000+ threshold, 12,597 disclosed employees (2024).
- New Brunswick — $80,000+ threshold, 22,104 disclosed employees (2025).
Salaries are compared against each province’s disclosed figures for the latest available year. Provinces that disclose total compensation or banded ranges (Manitoba, New Brunswick) are compared on those figures. Results are approximate and intended for general comparison only.
