Summary
If you make $17,112 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $3,906. That means that your net pay will be $13,206 per year, or $1,101 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 $24.90, hence, your net pay will only increase by $75.10.
