So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5.5% tax rate now rises to 7.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $38 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $2.10. That means that your net pay will be $35.90 per year, or $2.99 per month. Your average tax rate is 5.5% and your marginal tax rate is 5.5%. 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 $5.51, hence, your net pay will only increase by $94.49.
