Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.9% tax rate now rises to 33.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $21,299 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $6,145. That means that your net pay will be $15,154 per year, or $1,263 per month. Your average tax rate is 28.9% and your marginal tax rate is 30.5%. 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 $30.46, hence, your net pay will only increase by $69.54.
