Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $112 to pay you $3,900. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.87 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
18.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.9% tax rate now rises to 18.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $3,900 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $619. That means that your net pay will be $3,281 per year, or $273 per month. Your average tax rate is 15.9% and your marginal tax rate is 22.6%. 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 $22.59, hence, your net pay will only increase by $77.41.
