SALARY INCREASES FOR 2026: IS YOUR BUDGET ALIGNED WITH INITIAL PROJECTIONS?
In September 2025, Normandin Beaudry released the results of its 2026 Salary Increase Survey. More than 1,000 organizations from across Canada participated in this 15th edition.
As companies continue to finalize their strategies moving into the new year, determining 2026 salary increase budgets remains a top priority. In response, Normandin Beaudry launches an updated pulse survey to re-evaluate 2026 market projections.
Participate now to ensure you receive a complimentary copy of the full survey results in the new year.
The Salary Increase Pulse Survey is open until December 17, 2025.
As Canada faces an economic slowdown compounded by ongoing tariff pressures and trade uncertainties, strategic planning relevant to salary increases is essential in retaining talent and maintaining workforce strength.
Organizations are expected to continue scaling back their salary increase budgets in 2026, with an average projected increase of 3.1%, excluding salary freezes, versus 3.2% in 2025.
