25.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.7% tax rate now rises to 25.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $4,440 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $1,010. That means that your net pay will be $3,430 per year, or $286 per month.
