Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $211 to pay you $5,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.66 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
15.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.4% tax rate now rises to 15.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $5,000 a year living in the region of Quebec, Canada, you will be taxed $620. That means that your net pay will be $4,380 per year, or $365 per month. Your average tax rate is 12.4% and your marginal tax rate is 19.4%. 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 $19.39, hence, your net pay will only increase by $80.61.
