What a raise is worth
A raise from $60,000 to $70,000 would add about $5,994 to your take-home pay, so you keep 60% of the extra $10,000. CPP and EI still come off each extra dollar until you reach the yearly maximums.
Your marginal rate of 32.6% is the share of your next dollar of salary that goes to income tax. Your average rate of 16.0% is lower because the first part of your income is taxed at lower rates and covered by credits. An RRSP or FHSA contribution would save you roughly 32.6% of the amount in tax; see the TFSA vs RRSP and FHSA calculators.
