Summary
If you make $16,536 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $3,762. That means that your net pay will be $12,774 per year, or $1,064 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.8% 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 $24.89, hence, your net pay will only increase by $75.11.
