Income tax and payroll deductions side by side
In Ontario this pay loses $12,705 to income tax and $5,370 to CPP and EI. In Nunavut the income tax is $10,812 and in Nova Scotia it is $16,207, while the pension and EI part is the same $5,370 in both. That is why the whole spread of $5,396 traces back to income tax. Taken as a monthly paycheque, Ontario’s $4,744 compares with $4,902 in Nunavut and $4,452 in Nova Scotia.
Reasons for the spread
Federal rates are the same wherever you live. The differences come from each jurisdiction’s own income tax rates, brackets and credits. Quebec also runs its own pension and parental insurance plans, which changes its deductions. The CPP and EI amounts elsewhere are close to identical at this pay.
Biweekly cheques across the list
Paid every two weeks, the leader gets $2,262 and the last place gets $2,055, with Ontario at $2,189. The gross cheque is $2,885 in every one of them. Weekly in Ontario that is $1,095.
