Your real deductions can change during the year once EI or CPP limits are reached, and payroll rounding, credits, RRSP contributions, benefits, and other deductions can also change a paycheque.

Permanent median
$115,000
$82,636 take-home
Contract median
$85/hour
≈ $156,400 gross a year
At a median $85/hour, contract work grosses about $156,400 a year over 1,840 billable hours (230 days), 36% more than the $115,000 permanent median. That premium has to pay for what an employer would otherwise cover: paid holiday and sick days, pension contributions, and the gaps between contracts.
Contract and permanent benchmarks come from separate samples, so treat the gap as a guide rather than a like-for-like quote. See Business Systems Analyst contract rates and contractor take-home →
