Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $3,005 to pay you $40,500. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.35 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.1% tax rate now rises to 31.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $40,500 a year living in the region of Yukon, Canada, you will be taxed $10,552. That means that your net pay will be $29,948 per year, or $2,496 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.1% and your marginal tax rate is 27.1%. 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 $27.12, hence, your net pay will only increase by $72.88.
Bonus Example
