How $70,000 is taxed
Your first paycheque of the year is $1,981.51. Because $70,000 is above the EI maximum insurable earnings ($68,900), those deductions stop part-way through the year and your later paycheques are bigger.
Of the next $1,000 you earn, you keep $605 (marginal rate 39.5% including CPP and EI, on your tax return).
At tax time you can expect a refund of about $0.00, not counting any Newfoundland and Labrador low-income tax reduction.
