Real tax rate
35.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.7% tax rate now rises to 35.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $59,020 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $18,120. That means that your net pay will be $40,900 per year, or $3,408 per month. Your average tax rate is 30.7% and your marginal tax rate is 36.0%. 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 $35.96, hence, your net pay will only increase by $64.04.
