Real tax rate
26.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 23.7% tax rate now rises to 26.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $5,081 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $1,205. That means that your net pay will be $3,876 per year, or $323 per month.
