Average and marginal tax rate on $50,000
Income tax takes 11.4% of a $50,000 salary in British Columbia (average rate); counting CPP and EI, total deductions are 18.5%. The marginal rate — tax on the next dollar you earn — is 19.1% combined federal and provincial, plus 7.58% in payroll contributions.
Your last dollar falls in British Columbia's 1st provincial bracket (5.06% on income $0–$50,363) and the 1st federal bracket (14% on $0–$58,523). You have $363 of room before British Columbia's next bracket starts at $50,363.
At $50,000 you are below every contribution ceiling, so each extra dollar also costs 5.95% CPP and 1.63% EI.
A $5,000 raise to $55,000 would add about $3,631 a year to your take-home pay (73% of the raise), or $140 per biweekly paycheque.
