Provincial Tax Deductions • 10.8% on the first $31,000 of taxable income, + • 12.75% on the next $36,000, + • 17.4% on the amount over $67,000 Because the annual salary is $74,880; $31,ooo x 0.108 = $3348.00 $36,000 x 0.1275 = $4590.00 $7,880 x 0.174 = $1371.12 Total Prov Tax = $9309.12
Total Tax • Federal Tax plus Provincial Tax= Total Tax $13,425+$9309.12= $22734.12 • $22,734.12 divided by 12= $1894.51 $1894.51 per month in Taxes
