Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $1,779 to pay you $25,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.62 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.1% tax rate now rises to 33.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $25,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $7,272. That means that your net pay will be $17,728 per year, or $1,477 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.1% 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.
