Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $433 to pay you $8,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $2.71 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
25.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.7% tax rate now rises to 25.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $8,000 a year living in the region of Yukon, Canada, you will be taxed $1,738. That means that your net pay will be $6,262 per year, or $522 per month. Your average tax rate is 21.7% 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.
