Summary
If you make $85,500 a year living in the region of Nunavut, Canada, you will be taxed $22,729. That means that your net pay will be $62,771 per year, or $5,231 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.6% and your marginal tax rate is 27.5%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
