Summary
If you make $52,296 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $12,919. That means that your net pay will be $39,377 per year, or $3,281 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.7% and your marginal tax rate is 33.2%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
