Take-Home Pay
(After Tax) · 2025 estimate

In 2025, Karen Keels's $165,534 salary works out to roughly $112,434 after income tax, CPP and EI — an all-in deduction rate of about 32.1%. That is about 5% more than the $157,305 paid in 2024. Records under this name have appeared on the Sunshine List 14 years in all, first in 2012. Most School Boards employees belong to OTPP for teachers or OMERS, so actual take-home is likely another 7–10% lower after pension contributions.
