Ontario residents pay federal income tax, Ontario provincial income tax, CPP premiums, and EI premiums. At $100,000 salary, total deductions are approximately $33,860 leaving take-home of $66,140 or $5,512 per month before any RRSP or benefit deductions.
CPP: 5.95% on earnings between $3,500 and $71,300, plus CPP2 at 4% on earnings between $71,300 and $81,900. Maximum combined CPP approximately $5,050 per year. EI: 1.64% on insurable earnings up to $65,700, maximum $1,049 per year.
RRSP contributions reduce federal and Ontario provincial tax simultaneously. File a T1213 with CRA to reduce source withholding when making large RRSP contributions. Group benefits paid by employer are non-taxable. The working from home deduction of $2 per day reduces taxable income modestly.
Canadian financial planning requires understanding the federal and provincial tax systems together. Provincial income tax rates vary significantly across Canada from Alberta with a flat 10% rate to Nova Scotia with rates above 17% for middle incomes. Choosing where to live can change your after-tax income by several thousand dollars annually. The registered account system forms the core of Canadian tax efficiency with TFSA for flexibility, RRSP for high earners deferring tax to lower-bracket retirement years, FHSA for first-time home buyers combining the deduction of RRSP with the tax-free withdrawal of TFSA, RESP for education savings with the 20% Canada Education Savings Grant on first $2,500 per year per child, and RDSP for people with disabilities receiving the Canada Disability Savings Grant and Bond.
Canadian retirement income planning must coordinate Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, RRIF minimum withdrawals, and any employer pension income to manage marginal tax brackets and avoid OAS clawback. The OAS clawback begins at $90,997 of net income in 2026. TFSA withdrawals do not count as net income and do not trigger the clawback, making TFSA the most powerful tool for managing income in years when other sources push you near the threshold. RRSP meltdown strategy involves drawing down RRSP in lower-income early retirement years before CPP at 70, OAS, and mandatory RRIF minimums all combine to create peak retirement income and highest tax rates.
TFSA annual limit: $7,000, cumulative $109,000 from 2009. RRSP annual limit: 18% of prior year earned income to maximum $32,490. FHSA annual limit: $8,000, lifetime maximum $40,000. Canada Pension Plan Year Maximum Pensionable Earnings: $71,300. Employment Insurance maximum insurable earnings: $65,700. Federal Basic Personal Amount: approximately $16,129. OAS clawback threshold: $90,997. CPP maximum monthly pension at 65: approximately $1,365. OAS monthly payment at 65: approximately $728. These amounts adjust annually for inflation and wage growth.
