Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $594 to pay you $9,500. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.20 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
20.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.7% tax rate now rises to 20.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $9,500 a year living in the region of Quebec, Canada, you will be taxed $1,492. That means that your net pay will be $8,008 per year, or $667 per month. Your average tax rate is 15.7% 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 $19.38, hence, your net pay will only increase by $80.62.
