Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $4,834 to pay you $490,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $4.32 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 42.3% tax rate now rises to 42.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $490,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $207,079. That means that your net pay will be $282,921 per year, or $23,577 per month. Your average tax rate is 42.3% and your marginal tax rate is 48.0%. 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 $48, hence, your net pay will only increase by $52.
