Average and marginal tax rate on $120,000
Income tax takes 22.4% of a $120,000 salary in Ontario (average rate); counting CPP and EI, total deductions are 27.2%. The marginal rate — tax on the next dollar you earn — is 37.2% combined federal and provincial.
Your last dollar falls in Ontario's 3rd provincial bracket (11.16% on income $107,785–$150,000) and the 3rd federal bracket (26% on $117,045–$181,440). You have $30,000 of room before Ontario's next bracket starts at $150,000.
At $120,000 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 $125,000 would add about $2,830 a year to your take-home pay (57% of the raise), or $109 per biweekly paycheque.
