Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $2,169 to pay you $29,937. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.27 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.5% tax rate now rises to 30.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $29,937 a year living in the region of Northwest Territories, Canada, you will be taxed $7,630. That means that your net pay will be $22,307 per year, or $1,859 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.5% and your marginal tax rate is 26.7%. 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 $26.65, hence, your net pay will only increase by $73.35.
