| Item | Amount | Share of gross |
|---|---|---|
| Gross salary | $100,000.00 | 100.0% |
| Federal income tax | $13,301.60 | 13.3% |
| New Brunswick income tax | $9,714.40 | 9.7% |
| CPP contributions | $4,646.45 | 4.6% |

| Total deductions | $28,785.52 | 28.8% |
| Take-home pay | $71,214.48 | 71.2% |
The marginal rate of 34.5% is measured on the next $100 of salary rather than read off a bracket table, so it accounts for credit phase-outs and, in Ontario, the surtax. Counting CPP and employment insurance as well, the next $100 is reduced by 34.5%.
How New Brunswick taxes a salary
New Brunswick has nothing unusual in its machinery, and that is worth saying plainly rather than dressing up. There are four brackets from 9.4% to 19.5%, a flat basic personal amount of $13,664, and no surtax, health premium or low-income reduction. The provincial figure on this page is the bracket table less the credits.
The shape is in the second bracket. The rate steps from 9.4% to 14% at $52,333 and then holds all the way to $104,666, which is exactly twice the first threshold. Most New Brunswick salaries sit inside that band from end to end, so for a large part of the province the provincial rate on an extra dollar is 14% wherever in the band they stand.
The basic personal amount is below the federal one, so provincial tax begins before federal tax does.
| Taxable income | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 to $52,333 | 9.4% |
| $52,333 to $104,666 | 14% |
| $104,666 to $193,861 | 16% |
| Over $193,861 | 19.5% |
These rates apply to taxable income, which is not your salary. The enhanced slice of the CPP contribution comes off first, so the amount the table above is charged on is slightly lower than the amount on your employment contract. The basic personal credit is then subtracted from the tax the table produces, not from the income it is charged on.
The federal layer
Federal tax is charged on the same taxable income and added to the New Brunswick figure. On a $100,000 salary the federal share here is $13,302 against $9,714 of New Brunswick tax. The federal rules are the same across the country, so moving between provinces changes nothing about this layer.
| Taxable income | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 to $58,523 | 14% |
| $58,523 to $117,045 | 20.5% |
| $117,045 to $181,440 | 26% |
| $181,440 to $258,482 | 29% |
| Over $258,482 | 33% |
The two schedules do not line up. The federal rate steps from 14% to 20.5% at $58,523, while New Brunswick steps from 9.4% to 14% at $52,333. Between those two figures the statutory rate on an extra dollar is 28%, which is neither number a bracket table shows you.
The federal basic personal amount is $16,452 at this income, claimed as a credit at 14% rather than deducted from income, and it slides down to $14,829 across the top two brackets. There is also a Canada employment amount of $1,501, claimed federally only.
CPP and EI
CPP is charged at 5.95% on earnings between the basic exemption of $3,500 and $74,600, which caps the first tier at $4,230.45. Earnings between $74,600 and $85,000 attract a second contribution at 4%, worth up to $416.00. Above $85,000 no further CPP is taken, which is why the deduction rate stops climbing as fast at the top of the tables below.
Employment insurance is 1.63% of the first $68,900 of earnings, a maximum of $1,123.07. CPP and EI are not taxes. They buy a pension and an insurance entitlement, and they are shown separately from tax throughout this site for that reason.
The split matters. The base slice of the CPP contribution earns a credit at 9.4% provincially and 14% federally; the first-additional slice and the second-tier contribution are deducted from income instead. At $100,000, where both are at their maximum, the credit for contributions is worth $436 of New Brunswick tax.
