What $27 an hour adds up to
- Of every extra $1,000 you earn at this level, you keep $708.
- Your taxable income is in the 14% federal bracket, $2,890 below the 20.5% bracket.
- Your salary is below the CPP maximum pensionable earnings, so contributions apply to every dollar above the $3,500 exemption.
- Your RRSP room from this salary is about $10,109 (18% of earned income), usable next year.
- A TFSA and an RRSP both make sense at this income: the RRSP gives a refund at your marginal rate, the TFSA grows tax-free.
