We present the first systematic study of the filling constraints to realize a `trivial' insulator symmetric under magnetic space group M. The filling ν must be an integer multiple of mM to avoid spontaneous symmetry breaking or fractionalization in gapped phases. We improve the value of mM in the literature and prove the tightness of the constraint for the majority of magnetic space groups. The result may shed light on the material search of exotic magnets with fractionalization.
