No, no, and no, just straight up income tax before deductions. The mortgage interest deduction would be great, no doubt, for people with mortgages.

I also didn't include the monthly health insurance premiums, nor did I include the mandatory 3-week vacation pay, nor the 35-week maternity/paternity leave, etc etc. Nor tuition costs. I'd really love to see the numbers all across the board as a general "cost of living comparison" for sure.

It's been too long to be able to edit.

- your contribution limit carries over, so if you have a tight year, you can contribute a bunch over the following couple of years

- you can temporarily withdraw from it tax-free to buy a house (it has to be replaced within 10 years or you'll owe income tax on it)
