Worked example: $75,000 in New Brunswick
- CPP: 5.95% of earnings between $3,500 and $74,600 is $4,230.45, plus $16 of CPP2. EI: 1.63% of insurable earnings is $1,123.07.
- Taxable income: the enhanced CPP ($711) and CPP2 ($16) are deducted, leaving $74,273.
- Federal tax: the brackets give $11,421.97. Credits of $22,595.52 (basic personal amount $16,452, Canada employment amount $1,501, base CPP $3,519.45, EI $1,123.07) × 14% = $3,163.37, so basic federal tax is $8,258.60.
- New Brunswick tax: the brackets give $7,990.90. Credits of $18,306.52 (basic personal amount $13,664, base CPP and EI) × 9.4% = $1,720.81, leaving $6,270.09. New Brunswick tax is $6,270.09.
- Take-home: $75,000 − $8,258.60 − $6,270.09 − $4,246.45 − $1,123.07 = $55,101.79, or $4,591.82 a month and $2,119.30 every two weeks.
