Nearly $5,000 /yr for medical, vision, dental seems quite high. Where is that default coming from?

#32Is this missing federal taxes? It's way off for higher income brackets (almost 100% off).
Yikes. No, I have added the federal taxes to it, and it appears to be deducting it from the total income. Could you provide a little more data so I can track down the issue you are seeing?

#33The thing it's missing, that was the big issue when I looked into relocating, is that my and my wife's jobs don't reimburse the same in Ca.
That's the biggest impact, above and beyond everything else.

#34Your federal and provincial income taxes are way too low. If you click on the link below, you'll see BC has an average tax rate of 25.8% on 100K. https://neuvoo.ca/tax-calculator/Ontario-100000#:~:text=%245... . Taxes are killer in the Great White North.

In addition to RRSP, you can reduce tax by contributing to TFSA. Just focus on Ontario and BC, these will be sufficient for most tech immigrants.
That's not accurate. TFSA contributions are only made with post tax income, the real benefit comes when you take the money out since any gains made with the invested money will be tax free when withdrawn.

Yep, I think you are right. I'm subtracting taxes from "total income" right now, instead of "taxable income", so I'm not excluding the contributions! Thanks for pointing that out. I'll address that shortly.

I'd be interested in total take-home pay when comparing Canadian taxes to US taxes + employer-sponsored healthcare coverage.

Deleted my comment as I wasn't sure if I'm exactly right either. The reference for calculating payroll deductions is as follows: https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/cra-arc/formspubs/pub/t412... Formula is a bit complicated
