28.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23% tax rate now rises to 28.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $18,901 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $4,351. That means that your net pay will be $14,550 per year, or $1,212 per month.
