Real tax rate
20.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.5% tax rate now rises to 20.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $4,791 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $838. That means that your net pay will be $3,953 per year, or $329 per month.

For instance, an increase of $100 in your salary will be taxed $24.89, hence, your net pay will only increase by $75.11.
