What a raise is worth

A raise from $140,000 to $150,000 would add about $6,500 to your take-home pay, so you keep 65% of the extra $10,000. Part of the difference is because your CPP and EI are already at the yearly maximum, so more of each extra dollar is only income tax.

Your marginal rate of 35.0% is the share of your next dollar of salary that goes to income tax. Your average rate of 21.7% 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 35.0% of the amount in tax; see the TFSA vs RRSP and FHSA calculators.
