Take-Home Pay
(After Tax) · 2025 estimate

Of the $142,014 Irfan Merza earned in 2025, roughly $99,349 would remain after income tax, CPP and EI, an all-in deduction rate of about 30.0%. Compared with 2024, when the figure was $151,107, that is a drop of about 6%. Records under this name have appeared on the Sunshine List 5 years in all, first in 2021. Most Crown Agencies employees belong to PSPP or OPTrust, so actual take-home is likely another 7–10% lower after pension contributions.
