Real tax rate
19.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 16.3% tax rate now rises to 19.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $5,994 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $975. That means that your net pay will be $5,019 per year, or $418 per month.
