What $25,000 means in British Columbia
Your taxable income is $24,785 (salary less the enhanced CPP deduction). The next dollar is taxed at 14% federally and 5.6% in British Columbia; with CPP and EI that takes about 20.5% of a $1,000 raise, so you keep about $795. The next bracket starts at $50,363 of taxable income, $25,578 away.
CPP takes $1,279.25 and EI $407.50. Neither has reached its ceiling: CPP stops at $74,600 of earnings and EI at $68,900, so every extra dollar still carries both, which is about 6.7% of this salary in total.
British Columbia reduces provincial tax by up to $690, phasing out between $25,570 and $44,952 of taxable income; at $25,000 it is still in play.
At $25,000, British Columbia ranks first of 13 jurisdictions for take-home pay ($22,563 a year). Alberta, one place down, keeps $44 less. The lowest, Nova Scotia, keeps $1,000 less.
An RRSP contribution of $1,250 (5% of pay) comes off taxable income, so take-home falls by only $1,075 rather than $1,250: $175 of it comes back as tax not paid. CPP and EI are still charged on the full salary.
