Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $1,066 to pay you $16,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.5 goes to the government.

Real tax rate

32.8%

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.3% tax rate now rises to 32.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.5% higher than what it seemed at first.

Summary

If you make $16,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $4,531. That means that your net pay will be $11,469 per year, or $956 per month.
