Real tax rate
35.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31% tax rate now rises to 35.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $72,500 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $22,498. That means that your net pay will be $50,002 per year, or $4,167 per month. Your average tax rate is 31.0% and your marginal tax rate is 30.5%. 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 $30.50, hence, your net pay will only increase by $69.50.
