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 $59,500 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $18,293. That means that your net pay will be $41,207 per year, or $3,434 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.
