Real tax rate
33.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29% tax rate now rises to 33.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $22,740 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $6,584. That means that your net pay will be $16,156 per year, or $1,346 per month.
