Real tax rate
21.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.6% tax rate now rises to 21.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $6,600 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $1,160. That means that your net pay will be $5,440 per year, or $453 per month.
