Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $3,757 to pay you $50,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.42 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.7% tax rate now rises to 31.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 5.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $50,000 a year living in the region of Ontario, Canada, you will be taxed $13,338. That means that your net pay will be $36,662 per year, or $3,055 per month. Your average tax rate is 26.7% and your marginal tax rate is 35.3%. 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 $35.25, hence, your net pay will only increase by $64.75.
