Real tax rate
27.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.6% tax rate now rises to 27.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $15,600 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $3,529. That means that your net pay will be $12,071 per year, or $1,006 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.6% and your marginal tax rate is 24.9%. 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 $24.90, hence, your net pay will only increase by $75.10.
