Real tax rate
31.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.8% tax rate now rises to 31.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $42,000 a year living in the region of Northwest Territories, Canada, you will be taxed $10,846. That means that your net pay will be $31,154 per year, or $2,596 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.8% 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 $26.66, hence, your net pay will only increase by $73.34.
