What makes Saskatchewan different
Saskatchewan uses just three brackets and a large basic personal amount, so the provincial tax curve is unusually flat — middle earners do comparatively well, and the province stays competitive well into six figures.
Which Saskatchewan tax bracket is $60,000 in?
At $60,000, you sit in Saskatchewan’s 2nd provincial bracket — the 12.5% band that runs from $54,532 to $155,805. You have about $95,805 of room before the next band at 14.5% starts. A raise or bonus beyond that point is taxed at the higher provincial rate, though only the portion above the threshold is — brackets are marginal, not cliffs.

Keeping more of $60,000 in Saskatchewan
Your marginal rate is 33.0%, so every deductible dollar is worth that much back. A $10,000 RRSP contribution saves roughly $2,607 in tax at this income in Saskatchewan. Beyond that: take any employer match in full (an instant 100% return), fill your TFSA so growth is never taxed, and if part of your pay arrives as a bonus, direct it into the RRSP to skip withholding. If you are saving for a first home, the FHSA gives the RRSP deduction and TFSA-style tax-free withdrawal at once.
