Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $1,709 to pay you $24,120. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.25 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.4% tax rate now rises to 30.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $24,120 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $6,135. That means that your net pay will be $17,985 per year, or $1,499 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.4% and your marginal tax rate is 31.9%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
