Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $1,070 to pay you $16,050. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.03 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
28.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.7% tax rate now rises to 28.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $16,050 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $3,800. That means that your net pay will be $12,250 per year, or $1,021 per month. Your average tax rate is 23.7% and your marginal tax rate is 25.9%. 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 $25.87, hence, your net pay will only increase by $74.13.
