08/15/2018, 10:01 PMNah. Your highest bracket is a more than ours. By a couple percentage points. Average marginal tax rate for the top level is 45-ish % in Canada, 47 or something in the US.

08/15/2018, 10:02 PMOur lowest tax bracket covers you at something like 15% until you hit $40k/yr. Under $9k and you’re tax free.
