Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $4,834 to pay you $65,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.37 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.3% tax rate now rises to 31.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $65,000 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $17,092. That means that your net pay will be $47,908 per year, or $3,992 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.3% and your marginal tax rate is 27.5%. 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 $27.50, hence, your net pay will only increase by $72.50.
