Real tax rate
29.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.1% tax rate now rises to 29.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $20,020 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $4,828. That means that your net pay will be $15,192 per year, or $1,266 per month. Your average tax rate is 24.1% and your marginal tax rate is 31.9%. 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 $31.87, hence, your net pay will only increase by $68.13.
