Take-Home Pay
(After Tax) · 2023 estimate

Of the $127,050 Stephen Howie earned in 2023, roughly $89,552 would remain after income tax, CPP and EI, an all-in deduction rate of about 29.5%. That is about 13% below the 2023 median of $146,469 for Captain on the Sunshine List. Records under this name have appeared on the Sunshine List 9 years in all, first in 2015. Most Municipalities & Services employees belong to OMERS, so actual take-home is likely another 7–10% lower after pension contributions.
