Real tax rate
21.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 17.7% tax rate now rises to 21.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $6,648 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $1,175. That means that your net pay will be $5,473 per year, or $456 per month.

For instance, an increase of $100 in your salary will be taxed $30.56, hence, your net pay will only increase by $69.44.
