Take-Home Pay
(After Tax) · 2025 estimate
A Bureau Commander paid the 2025 median of $267,178 would take home roughly $164,115 after income tax, CPP and EI — about $13,676 a month, an effective rate of about 36.5%. That is about 119% above the 2025 median across the whole list, $122,262. The middle half of Bureau Commander salaries ran from $242,718 to $274,631. Pension contributions — likely PSPP or OPTrust in the Government of Ontario – Ministries sector — would typically trim another 7–10% off that figure.

About these figures
Source: Ontario’s Public Sector Salary Disclosure (the “Sunshine List”), which names every public-sector employee paid $100,000 or more in a calendar year. Figures are disclosed salaries, not market compensation: anyone in this position earning under $100,000 does not appear, so medians here sit above the true median for the job.
Medians and percentiles use salary paid (benefits excluded), computed over records whose filed job title was normalized into this position. Titles are as each employer filed them; spellings, word order and bilingual forms are merged. Employers and years with fewer than five people show counts only. 2023: job titles were not disclosed, so that year has no position data. Titles before 2005 were abbreviated at source; the chart starts at 2005.
