Real tax rate
14.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.4% tax rate now rises to 14.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $2,440 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $302. That means that your net pay will be $2,138 per year, or $178 per month. Your average tax rate is 12.4% and your marginal tax rate is 20.3%. 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 $20.28, hence, your net pay will only increase by $79.72.
