Real tax rate
26.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.5% tax rate now rises to 26.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $19,370 a year living in the region of British Columbia, Canada, you will be taxed $4,169. That means that your net pay will be $15,201 per year, or $1,267 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.5% and your marginal tax rate is 25.9%. 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 $25.88, hence, your net pay will only increase by $74.12.
