Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $117 to pay you $4,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.90 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
18.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 16% tax rate now rises to 18.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $4,000 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $641. That means that your net pay will be $3,359 per year, or $280 per month. Your average tax rate is 16.0% and your marginal tax rate is 24.9%. 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 $24.90, hence, your net pay will only increase by $75.10.
Bonus Example
A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $751 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $3,755 of net incomes.
