Real tax rate
33.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.7% tax rate now rises to 33.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $70,500 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $20,229. That means that your net pay will be $50,271 per year, or $4,189 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.7% and your marginal tax rate is 32.7%. 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 $32.65, hence, your net pay will only increase by $67.35.
