So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.6% tax rate now rises to 24.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $8,316 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $1,716. That means that your net pay will be $6,600 per year, or $550 per month.

For instance, an increase of $100 in your salary will be taxed $24.90, hence, your net pay will only increase by $75.10.
