What a raise is worth
A raise from $70,000 to $80,000 would add about $6,353 to your take-home pay, so you keep 64% of the extra $10,000. EI is already maxed out at this salary; CPP (including CPP2) still comes off extra pay up to $85,000.
Your marginal rate of 31.5% is the share of your next dollar of salary that goes to income tax. Your average rate of 17.5% 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 31.5% of the amount in tax; see the TFSA vs RRSP and FHSA calculators.
