Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $5,398 to pay you $2,520,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $5.25 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
52.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 52.3% tax rate now rises to 52.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $2,520,000 a year living in the region of Quebec, Canada, you will be taxed $1,318,494. That means that your net pay will be $1,201,506 per year, or $100,126 per month. Your average tax rate is 52.3% and your marginal tax rate is 53.3%. 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 $53.30, hence, your net pay will only increase by $46.70.
