Real tax rate
35.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.9% tax rate now rises to 35.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $61,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $18,820. That means that your net pay will be $42,180 per year, or $3,515 per month.
