Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $284 to pay you $6,115. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.12 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
20.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 16.5% tax rate now rises to 20.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $6,115 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $1,012. That means that your net pay will be $5,103 per year, or $425 per month. Your average tax rate is 16.6% and your marginal tax rate is 30.6%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of $100 in your salary will be taxed $30.55, hence, your net pay will only increase by $69.45.
