Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $11.50 to pay you $520. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $0.38 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
3.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.6% tax rate now rises to 3.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $520 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $8.22. That means that your net pay will be $512 per year, or $42.65 per month. Your average tax rate is 1.6% and your marginal tax rate is 1.6%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
