Average and marginal tax rate on $120,000
Income tax takes 26.9% of a $120,000 salary in Quebec (average rate); counting QPP, EI and QPIP, total deductions are 32.1%. The marginal rate — tax on the next dollar you earn — is 45.7% combined federal and provincial.
Your last dollar falls in Quebec's 3rd provincial bracket (24% on income $108,680–$132,245) and the 3rd federal bracket (26% on $117,045–$181,440). You have $12,245 of room before Quebec's next bracket starts at $132,245.
At $120,000 QPP, QPP2 and EI are all maxed ($4,479.30 + $416.00 + $895.70), so raises above this point are reduced only by income tax.
A $5,000 raise to $125,000 would add about $2,715 a year to your take-home pay (54% of the raise), or $104 per biweekly paycheque.

How this is calculated
Gross salary minus 2026 federal and Quebec income tax (each reduced by its basic personal amount credit), QPP and QPP2, and EI plus QPIP; federal tax includes the Quebec abatement. Monthly = annual ÷ 12, biweekly = annual ÷ 26, weekly = annual ÷ 52, hourly = annual ÷ 2,080.
