As Canada's largest city, Toronto also has a fairly high cost of living, mostly because of housing. Check this site out for an idea of rental prices: http://www.apartments-toronto.com/rental_rates.php

Subject: Typical Salary in Toronto
I could soon be looking at an intra-company move from UK to Toronto Canada and have to start looking at possibilities. Highest on my list of unknowns is the double edged question is "What could I expect to earn (or ask for)" in Toronto area and then "What does that translate to, in take home pay?"
I have seen earlier talks about typical salaries in the past but I have no knowledge of average Canadian taxation. In UK my monthly salary is reduced by about 30% for Income Tax, National Health and Pension contributions. So what is left in the average Canadian of you monthly salary?
If any want to reply personally, rather than to group, with some "typical" before and after figures for Toronto area, I would be most grateful .
Cheers guys
