Take-Home Pay
(After Tax) · 2025 estimate

Of the $326,616 Carl Lem earned in 2025, roughly $191,736 would remain after income tax, CPP and EI, an all-in deduction rate of about 41.3%. That is about 40% more than the $233,504 paid in 2024. Records under this name have appeared on the Sunshine List 15 years in all, first in 2010. Most Government of Ontario – Ministries employees belong to PSPP or OPTrust, so actual take-home is likely another 7–10% lower after pension contributions.
