Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $2,997 to pay you $40,400. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.35 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.1% tax rate now rises to 31.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $40,400 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $10,549. That means that your net pay will be $29,851 per year, or $2,488 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.1% and your marginal tax rate is 25.9%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
