Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $3,760 to pay you $50,050. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.87 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.2% tax rate now rises to 36.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $50,050 a year living in the region of Nova Scotia, Canada, you will be taxed $15,601. That means that your net pay will be $34,449 per year, or $2,871 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.2% and your marginal tax rate is 40.8%. 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 $40.78, hence, your net pay will only increase by $59.22.
