Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 24.2% tax rate now rises to 27.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.2% higher than what it seemed at first.

Summary

If you make $5,500 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $1,333. That means that your net pay will be $4,167 per year, or $347 per month.
