Real tax rate
35.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 31% tax rate now rises to 35.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 4% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $78,036 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $24,186. That means that your net pay will be $53,850 per year, or $4,487 per month.
