Real tax rate

Summary
If you make $24,220 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $6,166. That means that your net pay will be $18,054 per year, or $1,504 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.5% and your marginal tax rate is 31.9%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
