How $85,000 is taxed
Your first paycheque of the year is $2,316.77. Because $85,000 is above the EI maximum insurable earnings ($68,900) and the CPP earnings limit ($74,600), those deductions stop part-way through the year and your later paycheques are bigger. You also pay CPP2 of $416.00 on earnings between $74,600 and $85,000.
Of the next $1,000 you earn, you keep $650 (marginal rate 35.0% including CPP and EI, on your tax return).
At tax time you can expect a refund of about $0.01, not counting any Newfoundland and Labrador low-income tax reduction.
