Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $3,994 to pay you $53,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $3.76 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.1% tax rate now rises to 35.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $53,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $15,960. That means that your net pay will be $37,040 per year, or $3,087 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.1% and your marginal tax rate is 35.7%. 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 $35.74, hence, your net pay will only increase by $64.26.
