The peak savings is about 1.7% of income for someone who makes ~70k.
I was surprised that there is so little difference between the three provinces.
I wonder if tax breaks are drastically different. ie Alberta has a pretty good charitable tax credit that I think is better than the other provinces.

The difference between Alberta and BC/Ontario probably becomes really apparent as your salary goes up.
