Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $45.35 to pay you $2,050. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $0.91 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
8.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 6.9% tax rate now rises to 8.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $2,050 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $142. That means that your net pay will be $1,908 per year, or $159 per month. Your average tax rate is 6.9% and your marginal tax rate is 16.3%. 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 $16.34, hence, your net pay will only increase by $83.66.
