Take-Home Pay
(After Tax) · 2025 estimate

Of the $244,969 Ilona Boutros earned in 2025, roughly $153,443 would remain after income tax, CPP and EI, an all-in deduction rate of about 37.4%. It is up about 8% on the $226,191 paid in 2024. Records under this name have appeared on the Sunshine List 12 years in all, first in 2014. Most Government of Ontario – Legislative Assembly and Offices employees belong to PSPP or OPTrust, so actual take-home is likely another 7–10% lower after pension contributions.

Effective income-tax rate (excl. CPP/EI): ~35.1%
CPP + EI contributions: ~$5,507
All-in deduction rate (incl. CPP/EI): ~37.4%
vs. 2025 Chief Operating Officer median: +35%

Where does $244,969 rank on the Sunshine List? →
