Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $180 to pay you $4,800. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.74 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
16.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 13.6% tax rate now rises to 16.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $4,800 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $654. That means that your net pay will be $4,146 per year, or $345 per month.
