Real tax rate
23.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19% tax rate now rises to 23.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $7,436 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $1,415. That means that your net pay will be $6,021 per year, or $502 per month.

For instance, an increase of $100 in your salary will be taxed $30.55, hence, your net pay will only increase by $69.45.
