Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $117 to pay you $4,004. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.51 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
14.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.1% tax rate now rises to 14.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $4,004 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $486. That means that your net pay will be $3,518 per year, or $293 per month.
