Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $613 to pay you $9,720. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.21 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
20.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 15.8% tax rate now rises to 20.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $9,720 a year living in the region of Quebec, Canada, you will be taxed $1,535. That means that your net pay will be $8,185 per year, or $682 per month.
