If you're under the tax bracket of 38,000. Why am i getting taxed 15% when it should be 5%

The Federal tax rate is 15% on your first $45,282 of taxable income.

Provincial Tax rates vary, but in some provinces it is close to 5% on the first tax bracket. Ex: In Ontario, the rate is 5.05% on the first $42,201 of taxable income.
