Real tax rate
33.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.9% tax rate now rises to 33.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $22,620 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $6,547. That means that your net pay will be $16,073 per year, or $1,339 per month.
