- CPP: ($2,500.00 − $134.62 exemption) × 5.95% = $140.74
- EI: $2,500.00 × 1.63% = $40.75
- Annual taxable income: $65,000.00 − $0.00 deductions − $615.00 enhanced CPP (F5) = $64,385.00
- Federal: $64,385.00 × 20.5% − $3,804.00 − credits (BPA $16,452.00, CPP/EI, employment amount) = $6,220.88/yr
- British Columbia: $64,385.00 × 7.7% − $786.00 − credits = $3,070.45/yr
