Summary
If you make $21,216 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $4,927. That means that your net pay will be $16,289 per year, or $1,357 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.
