Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $2,609 to pay you $35,500. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.31 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.8% tax rate now rises to 30.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $35,500 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $9,146. That means that your net pay will be $26,354 per year, or $2,196 per month. Your average tax rate is 25.8% and your marginal tax rate is 28.9%. 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 $28.87, hence, your net pay will only increase by $71.13.
