What $30 an hour adds up to
- A $1,000 pay rise would add $643 to your take-home pay at this salary.
- Your taxable income is in the 20.5% federal bracket, $55,234 below the 26% 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 $11,232 (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.
