Real tax rate
34.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.5% tax rate now rises to 34.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $36,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $10,623. That means that your net pay will be $25,377 per year, or $2,115 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.5% 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.
