Real tax rate
33.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.6% tax rate now rises to 33.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $18,900 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $5,414. That means that your net pay will be $13,486 per year, or $1,124 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.7% and your marginal tax rate is 30.5%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
