Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $4,834 to pay you $170,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.62 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.3% tax rate now rises to 35.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $170,000 a year living in the region of British Columbia, Canada, you will be taxed $56,642. That means that your net pay will be $113,358 per year, or $9,446 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.3% and your marginal tax rate is 45.8%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of $100 in your salary will be taxed $45.80, hence, your net pay will only increase by $54.20.
