Real tax rate
35.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.1% tax rate now rises to 35.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $156,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $51,614. That means that your net pay will be $104,386 per year, or $8,699 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.1% and your marginal tax rate is 39.6%. 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 $39.56, hence, your net pay will only increase by $60.44.
