What $25,000 means in Ontario
Your taxable income is $24,785 (salary less the enhanced CPP deduction). The next dollar is taxed at 14% federally and 5.1% in Ontario; with CPP and EI that takes about 31.1% of a $1,000 raise, so you keep about $689. The next bracket starts at $53,891 of taxable income, $29,106 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.
Ontario adds a Health Premium of $287.10 at this income (it rises in steps to $900 and is not reduced by the provincial tax reduction), and a surtax of 20% and 36% on provincial tax over $5,818 and $7,446; this salary is below the surtax.
At $25,000, Ontario ranks eighth of 13 jurisdictions for take-home pay ($21,833 a year). Quebec, one place up, keeps $152 more. Prince Edward Island, one place down, keeps $60 less. The best of the 13, British Columbia, keeps $730 more than Ontario. The lowest, Nova Scotia, keeps $271 less.
An RRSP contribution of $1,250 (5% of pay) comes off taxable income, so take-home falls by only $874 rather than $1,250: $376 of it comes back as tax not paid. CPP and EI are still charged on the full salary.
