Average and marginal tax rate on $70,000
Income tax takes 15.9% of a $70,000 salary in Ontario (average rate); counting CPP and EI, total deductions are 23.2%. The marginal rate — tax on the next dollar you earn — is 29.6% combined federal and provincial, plus 5.95% in payroll contributions.
Your last dollar falls in Ontario's 2nd provincial bracket (9.15% on income $53,891–$107,785) and the 2nd federal bracket (20.5% on $58,523–$117,045). You have $37,785 of room before Ontario's next bracket starts at $107,785.
At $70,000 you have passed the EI ceiling ($68,900), so EI is maxed at $1,123.07, but CPP still takes 5.95% of each extra dollar up to $74,600.
A $5,000 raise to $75,000 would add about $3,140 a year to your take-home pay (63% of the raise), or $121 per biweekly paycheque.
