Hi everyone, I’m moving to Toronto in the Summer to be closer to my sister and I’m going to be looking for a job as a new grad RPN as I’m still finishing school. I’m trying to figure out my finances so I can start looking for an apartment soon after graduation. If you don’t mind sharing with me how much do you go home with after taxes monthly? I just don’t want to screw myself over. Thank you

It depends where you work. Clinics pay less than hospitals. If you do overtime, obviously your wage will be higher. When I was a new grad RPN I was making $24.86 an hour which ended up leaving me with about $2800 per month after dedications. Wages for hospitals are a bit higher now so you'd be looking at about $3100 per month as a new grad.

Thanks so much this actually really helped! I think now in the hospitals it’s mainly around 30.30-31.00 so that’s good to know!

I have 2 part-time RPN positions, both at hospitals, and my monthly take home is usually about $4000-$4500. One is in the GTA and the other is more rural.

Depends on where you work. I believe long term care starts between $24-$26, and if you work for the City, it's between $32-$36. I work in the hospital setting so I earn an hourly of $31.50. As a full timer, my take home pay biweekly would be around $1600-$1800. Part timers do get a lot more because of their additional 13% lieu in benefits. Hope this helps!

It depends on where you live/work. The pay rates can vary significantly from clinics to hospitals, etc. I'm an RN now, but I was an RPN until earlier this year and I worked at a hospital in the Niagara area. My take-home pay was $1800 & change bi-weekly at $30.26/hour.
That is being classified as part-time, but picking up full-time hours so I got 14% in lieu of benefits. If I was full-time, I'd take home approximately $1500/bi-weekly.
From what I've seen, Toronto hospitals paid less at $26-$28/hour for whatever reason. Didn't make much sense to me as the cost of living is much higher.
