What $43 an hour adds up to
- Of every extra $1,000 you earn at this level, you keep $704.
- Your taxable income is in the 20.5% federal bracket, $28,732 below the 26% bracket.
- You reach the maximum CPP and CPP2 contributions, so these deductions stop before the end of the year and your later paycheques increase.
- Your RRSP room from this salary is about $16,099 (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.
