Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $1,739 to pay you $24,500. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.26 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.5% tax rate now rises to 30.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $24,500 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $6,256. That means that your net pay will be $18,244 per year, or $1,520 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. For instance, an increase of $100 in your salary will be taxed $31.87, hence, your net pay will only increase by $68.13.
