Summary
If you make $2,905 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $396. That means that your net pay will be $2,509 per year, or $209 per month. Your average tax rate is 13.6% and your marginal tax rate is 20.4%. 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 $20.40, hence, your net pay will only increase by $79.60.
