Summary
If you make $66,000 a year living in the region of British Columbia, Canada, you will be taxed $18,080. That means that your net pay will be $47,920 per year, or $3,993 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.4% and your marginal tax rate is 28.2%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
