Real tax rate
17.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15% tax rate now rises to 17.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $3,441 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $515. That means that your net pay will be $2,926 per year, or $244 per month.

For instance, an increase of $100 in your salary will be taxed $22.59, hence, your net pay will only increase by $77.41.
