Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $4,834 to pay you $300,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.76 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36% tax rate now rises to 37.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $300,000 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $107,854. That means that your net pay will be $192,146 per year, or $16,012 per month. Your average tax rate is 36.0% and your marginal tax rate is 44.5%. 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 $44.50, hence, your net pay will only increase by $55.50.
Bonus Example
A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $555 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $2,775 of net incomes.
