Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $4,834 to pay you $1,500,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $5.17 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
51.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 51.4% tax rate now rises to 51.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $1,500,000 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $770,340. That means that your net pay will be $729,660 per year, or $60,805 per month. Your average tax rate is 51.4% and your marginal tax rate is 53.5%. 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 $53.53, hence, your net pay will only increase by $46.47.
