Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $4,834 to pay you $600,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $4.41 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
43.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 43.3% tax rate now rises to 43.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $600,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $259,879. That means that your net pay will be $340,121 per year, or $28,343 per month. Your average tax rate is 43.3% and your marginal tax rate is 48.0%. 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 $48, hence, your net pay will only increase by $52.
Bonus Example
