Real tax rate
24.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.4% tax rate now rises to 24.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $8,400 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $1,710. That means that your net pay will be $6,690 per year, or $558 per month.
