What a $90,000 salary means

  • Of every extra $1,000 you earn at this level, you keep $704.
  • Your taxable income is in the 20.5% federal bracket, $28,172 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 $16,200 (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.
