Real tax rate
34.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31.6% tax rate now rises to 34.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $118,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $37,344. That means that your net pay will be $80,656 per year, or $6,721 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.7% and your marginal tax rate is 36.0%. 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 $36, hence, your net pay will only increase by $64.
