Real tax rate
35.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.4% tax rate now rises to 35.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make $56,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $17,034. That means that your net pay will be $38,966 per year, or $3,247 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.4% and your marginal tax rate is 36.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
