Keeping more of $75,000 in New Brunswick
Your marginal rate is 34.5%, so every deductible dollar is worth that much back. A $10,000 RRSP contribution saves roughly $3,450 in tax at this income in New Brunswick. 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.
