Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $315 to pay you $6,500. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.53 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
24.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.5% tax rate now rises to 24.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $6,500 a year living in the region of Yukon, Canada, you will be taxed $1,331. That means that your net pay will be $5,169 per year, or $431 per month. Your average tax rate is 20.5% 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
A $1,000 bonus will generate an extra $729 of net incomes. A $5,000 bonus will generate an extra $3,644 of net incomes.
