In Canada you get taxed like 50 % of that ... They hit you real hard.... After cost of living and such it's a struggle if there's no other income...
Don't get me wrong I'm happy he's playing ball ....

If you're willing to chase a dream and take the hits along the way then it's ok I guess but I can't see him being there long... Maybe a season or two... Unless he has some other way to make money in the off-season back here in the states...

This is where I'm at, can't blame the guy for wanting to have 1 more shot at it, at the end of the season he will have a good idea if he has any shot at the NFL or time to get on with life, like the Rock going to the CFL and getting canned, at least you don't have to wonder what if.

He aint getting taxed 50%, you dont know what you’re talking about

Any other city than Toronto and Vancouver, he would live pretty nice with 75k.

He got signed by Toronto, right??.. And I didn't say my number was absolute...They do tax way more than we do here... If I'm off by some.. fine... It's still a lot...

He was totally off my radar once he left Miami until Deion used him for views.

Glad he landed on his feet...even if just for those 3 years. Hopefully he puts it away and doesnt try to act like some big baller.

Just FYI UF Superfan just informed me he is going to UF. I’m surprised UF is taking him.

Edit: Nevermind, this is based of a tweet that I just looked at and doesn’t mean ****. This is what I get for being friends with a Gator.

It ain't 50%, its a myth.

The first table is federally

15%on the portion of taxable income that is $55,867 or less, plus
20.5%on the portion of taxable income over $55,867 up to $111,733, plus
26%on the portion of taxable income over $111,733 up to $173,205, plus
29%on the portion of taxable income over $173,205 up to $246,752, plus
33%on the portion of taxable income over $246,752
[th]
Tax rate​
[/th][th]
Taxable income threshold​
[/th]​
The second table is provincially in Ontario (where I am and the most populated province)
5.05%on the portion of taxable income that is $51,446 or less, plus
9.15%on the portion of taxable income over $51,446 up to $102,894, plus
11.16%on the portion of taxable income over $102,894 up to $150,000, plus
12.16%on the portion of taxable income over $150,000 up to $220,000, plus
13.16%on the portion of taxable income over $220,000
Essentially in each income earned bracket only that portion gets taxed at a higher rate.

I own a corp (I'm self employed and pay myself a salary of 55K) and the past 3 years I've only have to pay an income tax of 4,500 on the personal side.

My wife makes 90k from her job annually (works for a regular job in administration) single mother (before meeting me) and on her pay cheque, after deductions which includes provincial and federal taxes amongst, benefits and pension (we don't have employer health insurance for obvious reasons), she gets net ~ 64k annually, but receives a return from the federal govt of 3k annually.

I pay less taxes cause I hide a lot of income in my corp and that a lower tax rate and have personal car on the corp amongst other things and I pay an accountant to make sure i pay the least amount.

Hence the 50% myth.
It's actually not terrible here, just a tonne of other road blocks to get **** done here outside of govt interference, which in my opinion is pretty minimal, and its usually banks and insurance.
