Average and marginal tax rate on $90,000
Income tax takes 17.6% of a $90,000 salary in British Columbia (average rate); counting CPP and EI, total deductions are 24.1%. The marginal rate — tax on the next dollar you earn — is 28.2% combined federal and provincial.
Your last dollar falls in British Columbia's 2nd provincial bracket (7.7% on income $50,363–$100,728) and the 2nd federal bracket (20.5% on $58,523–$117,045). You have $10,728 of room before British Columbia's next bracket starts at $100,728.
At $90,000 CPP, CPP2 and EI are all maxed ($4,230.45 + $416.00 + $1,123.07), so raises above this point are reduced only by income tax.
A $5,000 raise to $95,000 would add about $3,590 a year to your take-home pay (72% of the raise), or $138 per biweekly paycheque.
