Real tax rate
17.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.6% tax rate now rises to 17.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $3,771 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $590. That means that your net pay will be $3,182 per year, or $265 per month.
