Take-Home Pay
(After Tax) · 2025 estimate

That is about 14% above the 2025 median of $167,529 for Staff Sergeant on the Sunshine List. Records under this name have appeared on the Sunshine List 12 years in all, first in 2012. Pension contributions — likely OMERS in the Municipalities & Services sector — would typically trim another 7–10% off that figure.
