So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26.2% tax rate now rises to 30.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 3.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $8,008 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $2,097. That means that your net pay will be $5,911 per year, or $493 per month.
