Summary
If you make $46,501 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $11,242. That means that your net pay will be $35,259 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.
