According to that calculator my taxes would be less in Ontario, Canada than California.  In reality they aren&#x27;t because I do married filing jointly and my wife has no income.  But were I a single person it seems that it&#x27;s not true that the taxes are higher there.  In fact I&#x27;d be paying $5,000 less in tax in Ontario than in California (assuming wages were the same).<p>I don&#x27;t know if EI and CPP would add up to $5,000, but certainly it would be much less if you throw Health Insurance into the the calculation.
