Am i right if i calculate that with the tax taken off the eq bank chequing account it works out to 1.78% if i make 60000 so i would be at a 20.5% tax rate. If it is is it appears it is a toss up between peoples trust tfsa savings account and eq.

For taxable income of $60,000, 20.5% is just the federal marginal rate. Your province will also want their income tax too.

Those living in British Columbia will pay another 7.7%. Saskatchewan residents will pay another 13%. Ontario residents will pay another 9.15%.

CRA has a summary of marginal rates at Canadian income tax rates for individuals - current and previous years.

It depends on whether christinad is talking about total income or taxable income. It would be difficult to get a 60K total income down to 41,536 taxable, which is the Ontario ceiling for 20.5% total, but not impossible in some circumstances.

Thanks for the responses. I forgot about the bc tax. I do have some rrsps but not enough to bring it down that much. I think i'll move some money back to peoples trust. I was just one of those people caught up in eq hype.
