Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.2% tax rate now rises to 28.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $21,472 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $4,991. That means that your net pay will be $16,481 per year, or $1,373 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.3% and your marginal tax rate is 24.9%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
