Real tax rate
29.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.2% tax rate now rises to 29.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $46,500 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $11,242. That means that your net pay will be $35,258 per year, or $2,938 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.2% and your marginal tax rate is 26.2%. 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 $26.18, hence, your net pay will only increase by $73.82.
