Real tax rate
34.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.8% tax rate now rises to 34.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $149,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $48,860. That means that your net pay will be $100,140 per year, or $8,345 per month. Your average tax rate is 32.8% and your marginal tax rate is 38.0%. 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 $38, hence, your net pay will only increase by $62.
