Real tax rate
34.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30% tax rate now rises to 34.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $52,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $15,602. That means that your net pay will be $36,398 per year, or $3,033 per month.
