Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $0.95 to pay you $40. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $0.41 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
4.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.7% tax rate now rises to 4.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $40 a year living in the region of Quebec, Canada, you will be taxed $0.68. That means that your net pay will be $39.32 per year, or $3.28 per month. Your average tax rate is 1.7% and your marginal tax rate is 1.7%. 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 $1.69, hence, your net pay will only increase by $98.31.
