Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $295 to pay you $6,250. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.16 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
20.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 16.8% tax rate now rises to 20.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $6,250 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $1,053. That means that your net pay will be $5,197 per year, or $433 per month.

For instance, an increase of $100 in your salary will be taxed $30.56, hence, your net pay will only increase by $69.44.
