How to read this number
The take-home figure applies a flat effective rate to a modelled gross band, so it is an estimate for comparison rather than a payslip. Bonuses, overtime, shift premiums, benefits and equity all sit outside it. Ontario and Quebec tax brackets differ sharply—compare net pay rather than gross when relocating between provinces.
Physician compensation mixes base, productivity and call pay; specialty and setting dominate the band far more than country alone.
