Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $33.18 to pay you $1,500. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.11 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
10.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 8.9% tax rate now rises to 10.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $1,500 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $134. That means that your net pay will be $1,366 per year, or $114 per month. Your average tax rate is 8.9% and your marginal tax rate is 15.7%. 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 $15.74, hence, your net pay will only increase by $84.26.
