What to know at this income level
At $75,000 to $115,000, CPP1 contributions are maxed out and CPP2 kicks in between $71,300 and $81,200. You are solidly in the 20.5% federal bracket, approaching the 26% bracket at $114,750. Combined federal and provincial marginal rates range from 29% (Alberta) to 41% (Quebec, Nova Scotia). This is the income range where strategic RRSP contributions, pension splitting (if married), and maximising the TFSA all work together for meaningful tax efficiency.
Maximize RRSP at this bracket
At 20.5% federal + 9-15% provincial, RRSP contributions save 30-36 cents per dollar contributed. Your 2025 limit is 18% of 2024 earned income, up to $32,490. If you have unused room from prior years, a lump-sum catch-up contribution can produce a significant refund. Use calculator →
CPP2 enhanced contributions
Since 2024, CPP2 applies a 4% rate on earnings between $71,300 and $81,200 (2025). The maximum CPP2 contribution is $396/year. This is in addition to regular CPP1 and builds a larger retirement pension. Unlike CPP1, CPP2 premiums earn a tax credit at 15% (not a deduction).
