Summary
If you make $17,720 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $4,057. That means that your net pay will be $13,663 per year, or $1,139 per month. Your average tax rate is 22.9% and your marginal tax rate is 24.9%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
