Real tax rate
30.2%

Summary
If you make $40,248 a year living in the region of British Columbia, Canada, you will be taxed $10,066. That means that your net pay will be $30,182 per year, or $2,515 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.0% and your marginal tax rate is 26.9%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
