Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $592 to pay you $10,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.30 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27% tax rate now rises to 31.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $10,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $2,703. That means that your net pay will be $7,297 per year, or $608 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.0% and your marginal tax rate is 30.5%. 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 $30.46, hence, your net pay will only increase by $69.54.
Bonus Example
