Report card · Fall 2026
Yukon
Fiscal year 2025-26. The short version first, then every figure behind it, from the government's audited public accounts.
The short version
In 2025-26, Yukon spent $2.3 billion, about $45,801 for every resident. That was 5.7% more than it planned.
It ended the year with a surplus of $75 million, worse than the surplus of $133 million it had planned.
Its independent auditor (Auditor General of Canada) signed off on the accounts without reservation.
The audited results came out 211 days after the year ended.
What it means per person
Yukon's totals divided by its population of 49,422 on October 1, 2025 (Statistics Canada). This is not a tax bill: every Canadian pays for federal and provincial or territorial government at the same time, and some of this money comes from other governments.
- Spent $45,801 per resident, on services, programs and transfers
- Collected $47,150 per resident, in taxes, transfers and other revenue
- Paid in interest $116 per resident, about 0¢ of every revenue dollar
- Net debt $6,027 per resident, what it owes, less its financial assets

What went off plan
The areas furthest from their budget, in dollars. Going over isn't automatically bad (an emergency or a program added during the year can be the reason), and coming in under can mean delayed work.
Over budget
- Natural resources +$141 million (98.1%)
- Community and transportation +$82 million (20.5%)
- Justice +$10 million (9.0%)
Under budget
- General government −$79 million (−24.0%)
