Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $1,383 to pay you $20,004. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
28.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.1% tax rate now rises to 28.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $20,004 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $4,626. That means that your net pay will be $15,378 per year, or $1,282 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.1% 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.
Bonus Example
A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $751 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $3,756 of net incomes.
