Take-Home Pay

Of the $134,288 David Kiesman earned in 2025, roughly $94,977 would remain after income tax, CPP and EI, an all-in deduction rate of about 29.3%. That is about 7% less than the $143,687 paid in 2024. Records under this name have appeared on the Sunshine List 7 years in all, first in 2019. Most Crown Agencies employees belong to PSPP or OPTrust, so actual take-home is likely another 7–10% lower after pension contributions.
