[CanadaOrNot]

I'm currently living in Washington state, US but have a probable job offer in Ontario. I make around 60k now with my employer paying almost my whole health insurance cost. The new job will likely pay between 70 and 75k Canadian. We have a hobby farm and write off expenses for it.

I know Canadian taxes are higher and I plan to apply for residency and all that. We would be buying a property and it looks like interest rates are much lower than in my state.

I am trying to figure out if I will end up effectively taking a pay cut after taxes and health costs and anything else I'm not thinking of.

Any advice appreciated!

Health costs for most things are paid via your taxes. Employers also usually offer health plans for those things not covered by the province (ie. prescription drugs, dental, etc.).
