Real tax rate
28.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.2% tax rate now rises to 28.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $20,697 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $4,798. That means that your net pay will be $15,899 per year, or $1,325 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.2% 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.
