Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $750 to pay you $12,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.39 goes to the government.

Real tax rate

31.9%

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.6% tax rate now rises to 31.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.3% higher than what it seemed at first.

Summary

If you make $12,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $3,313. That means that your net pay will be $8,687 per year, or $724 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.6% and your marginal tax rate is 30.5%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
