Take-Home Pay
(After Tax) · 2025 estimate
A Information Technology Specialist paid the 2025 median of $114,594 would take home roughly $83,765 after income tax, CPP and EI — about $6,980 a month, an effective rate of about 22.1%. Half of those listed earned between $108,207 and $124,501. Across every sector the 2025 median was $122,262, so this position sits about 6% below it. Pension contributions — likely HOOPP in the Hospitals & Boards of Public Health 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.
