Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $1,491 to pay you $20,020. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.71 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.6% tax rate now rises to 25.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $20,020 a year living in the region of Quebec, Canada, you will be taxed $3,933. That means that your net pay will be $16,087 per year, or $1,341 per month. Your average tax rate is 19.7% and your marginal tax rate is 34.3%. 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 $34.28, hence, your net pay will only increase by $65.72.
