How it's worked out
- Basic personal amounts: the first $16,452 of income is tax-free federally, and the first $12,989 for Ontario tax.
- CPP: 5.95% of earnings between $3,500 and $74,600. CPP2 adds 4% on earnings from $74,600 to $85,000. Part of your CPP reduces your taxable income, and the rest earns a tax credit.
- EI: 1.63% of earnings up to $68,900, so the most you pay in 2026 is $1,123.07.
- Ontario surtax: once your basic Ontario tax goes over $5,818, a 20% surtax is added on the excess (and another 36% above $7,446). At $100,000, that adds about $26.
- Ontario Health Premium: $750 a year at this income, collected through payroll and your tax return. It's based on taxable income and tops out at $900.

Ways to keep more of your pay
- RRSP contributions are deducted from your taxable income. Putting 5% ($5,000) into an RRSP would leave you about $70,714 in take-home pay, only $3,492 less, because it saves about $1,508 in tax.
- A TFSA doesn't lower your tax now, but your investments grow and come out tax-free.
- Other provinces: federal tax, CPP and EI are the same everywhere except Quebec, but provincial tax differs, so take-home pay in other provinces will be a little higher or lower.
Other salaries after tax in Ontario: $50,000, $60,000, $75,000, $80,000. $100,000 in British Columbia and Alberta. Compare with the UK and Australia.
