Real tax rate
29.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24% tax rate now rises to 29.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $40,820 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $9,808. That means that your net pay will be $31,012 per year, or $2,584 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.0% 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.
