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 $45,000 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $11,739. That means that your net pay will be $33,261 per year, or $2,772 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.1% and your marginal tax rate is 32.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
