Real tax rate
24.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.9% tax rate now rises to 24.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $8,004 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $1,589. That means that your net pay will be $6,415 per year, or $535 per month.
