Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $307 to pay you $6,400. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.20 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.2% tax rate now rises to 21.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $6,400 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $1,099. That means that your net pay will be $5,301 per year, or $442 per month.
