Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $397 to pay you $7,540. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.55 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.2% tax rate now rises to 24.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $7,540 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $1,523. That means that your net pay will be $6,017 per year, or $501 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.2% and your marginal tax rate is 24.9%. 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 $24.90, hence, your net pay will only increase by $75.10.
