Real tax rate
18.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.1% tax rate now rises to 18.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $5,460 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $826. That means that your net pay will be $4,634 per year, or $386 per month.
