Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $750 to pay you $12,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.43 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
32.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.1% tax rate now rises to 32.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $12,000 a year living in the region of Saskatchewan, Canada, you will be taxed $3,369. That means that your net pay will be $8,631 per year, or $719 per month.
