Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer $4,834 to pay you $990,000. In other words, every time you spend $10 of your hard-earned money, $4.56 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45.2% tax rate now rises to 45.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.2% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make $990,000 a year living in the region of Alberta, Canada, you will be taxed $447,079. That means that your net pay will be $542,921 per year, or $45,243 per month. Your average tax rate is 45.2% 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.
