Salary after tax, at every salary

The share you keep falls as pay rises — 87.1–87.5% at $30,000, 65.6–68.9% at $200,000 — because each bracket's rate applies only to the dollars inside it. A raise never shrinks your take-home; it only means the next dollars are taxed at a higher rate.

CPP and EI grow with pay only up to their yearly maximums: EI stops at $68,900 of earnings, CPP at $85,000. Above those, every extra dollar is income tax alone.

Federal tax, CPP and EI are the same in every province, so each row's differences are provincial tax. British Columbia leaves the most on 17 of these 43 salaries, Alberta on 16 and Ontario on 1; on 9 the top two are within $100. The cheaper province flips with income — the comparisons break that down line by line.
