In Nova Scotia, a raise is taxed through the same federal and provincial or territorial payroll rules as your current salary. Compare both sides to see how much of the increase you keep.
Provincial brackets and credits in Nova Scotia affect how much of the raise remains after tax. CPP and EI increase only until their annual maximums. The table on this page uses a worked Nova Scotia example so you can see the before/after split.
Only the dollars above a bracket threshold are taxed at the higher rate. This calculator uses the full payroll estimate, so bracket crossings are already in the before/after difference.
The keep percentage is net raise divided by gross raise. It is based on two annual payroll estimates, not a single marginal rate applied to the raise.
Yes. Choose Raise % and the calculator converts it into a new annual salary before running the comparison.
