Summary
If you make $42,132 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $10,135. That means that your net pay will be $31,997 per year, or $2,666 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.1% and your marginal tax rate is 24.9%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
