Take-Home Pay
(After Tax) · 2025 estimate
A Pilot paid the 2025 median of $170,356 would take home roughly $115,087 after income tax, CPP and EI — about $9,591 a month, an all-in deduction rate of about 32.4%. That is about 39% above the 2025 median across the whole list, $122,262. Half of those listed earned between $153,552 and $199,488. Most Government of Ontario – Ministries employees belong to PSPP or OPTrust, so actual take-home is likely another 7–10% lower after pension contributions.

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.
