Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $4,153 to pay you $55,016. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.50 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.5% tax rate now rises to 32.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $55,016 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $15,106. That means that your net pay will be $39,910 per year, or $3,326 per month.
