... not applicable Note 1 Employment income refers to income that was earned in relation to some form of work, such as wages and salaries, commissions from employment, training allowances, tips and gratuities, and net self-employment income. Return to note 1 referrer Note 2 The Low Income Measure (LIM) is a fixed percentage (50%) of adjusted family income where adjusted indicates a consideration of family needs. The family size adjustment reflects the precept that family needs increase with family size. A family is considered to be low income when their income is below the LIM for their family type and size. An outline of the LIM calculation method is provided in the User's Guide, Annual Income Estimates for Census Families and Individuals (T1 Family File). The procedure for the before-tax LIM and the after-tax LIM is the same but a different income variable is incorporated into each of the calculations. Total income is used for the before-tax LIM while income after taxes is used for the after-tax LIM. Return to note 2 referrer Note 3 For the purpose of these data, government transfers denote the following payments made to individuals by the federal or provincial governments: Employment Insurance; Goods and Services Tax Credit and/or Harmonized Sales Tax Credit; Canada Child Tax Benefit; Old Age Security and Net Federal Supplements; Canada and Quebec Pension Plan; Workers’ Compensation; Social Assistance; Provincial Refundable Tax Credits/Family Benefits; and, Other Government Transfers (e.g., Working Income Tax Benefit). Return to note 3 referrer Note 4 Other income sources can include, but are not limited to: income from self-employment, income from investments, income from registered disability saving plans, spousal and child support payments received, scholarships, apprenticeship grants, or retiring allowances. Return to note 4 referrer Note 5 Median is the middle number in a group of numbers. Where a median income, for example, is given as $26,000, it means that exactly half of the incomes reported are greater than or equal to $26,000, and that the other half is less than or equal to the median amount. Median income is rounded to the nearest $10. Zero values are not included in the calculation of medians for individuals. Return to note 5 referrer Note 6 After-tax income is income from all sources, minus provincial and federal income taxes. Return to note 6 referrer Note 7 The Economic Dependency Ratio (EDR) is the sum of transfer payment dollars received as government benefits, compared to every $100 of employment income. For example, an EDR of 4.69 means that $4.69 in government transfers were received for every $100 of employment income. Return to note 7 referrer Note: Due to rounding, totals may not add up to 100%.
