Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.1% tax rate now rises to 24.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $7,461 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $1,503. That means that your net pay will be $5,958 per year, or $497 per month.
