So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 7.6% tax rate now rises to 9.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $2,220 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $170. That means that your net pay will be $2,050 per year, or $171 per month.

For instance, an increase of $100 in your salary will be taxed $16.35, hence, your net pay will only increase by $83.65.
