Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $296 to pay you $6,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $1.85 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
17.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 13.6% tax rate now rises to 17.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $6,000 a year living in the region of Quebec, Canada, you will be taxed $814. That means that your net pay will be $5,186 per year, or $432 per month. Your average tax rate is 13.6% 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.
