Assumptions
- A full year at one salary, with no job change, bonus or unpaid leave part way through.
- Employment income only. New Brunswick residency for the whole year, and no income from another province.
- Three credits are applied: the basic personal amount, the base CPP contribution, and the EI premium. Credits that depend on your family or personal circumstances are left out.
- The enhanced part of CPP and the whole of CPP2 are deducted from income rather than credited, which is how the Canada Revenue Agency treats them.
- Provincial surtaxes, low income reductions and health premiums are not modelled, so a high salary in a province that charges them will owe more than shown.
- You are an employee on payroll. Self employed earnings work differently and are covered on the contractor page.

Income tax in New Brunswick
New Brunswick rebuilt its schedule after a round of rate cuts and now publishes four rates: 9.4 percent, then 14 percent from $52,333, 16 percent from $104,666, and 19.5 percent above $193,861. The first two thresholds are exact doubles of each other, an artefact of how the province collapsed its old five band table.
That step from 9.4 to 14 percent is the sharpest single jump in any provincial schedule, so crossing $52,333 changes what an extra dollar is worth here more than it would in most of the country. A basic personal amount of $13,664 is credited at the bottom rate. The Canada Revenue Agency collects provincial tax on New Brunswick's behalf, which is why a pay stub shows one combined income tax line and not two.
Federal tax sits on top of the provincial figure and runs 14 percent to $58,523, then 20.5 percent to $117,045. A New Brunswick salary in the fifties is therefore climbing the provincial ladder while still on the first federal rate, and the two schedules move independently. An RRSP contribution lowers the income both of them read, which makes the box worth more than the provincial rate alone would suggest.
