Hi all

One settles in Alberta

From a supposedly gross monthly income of 5000 what are the deductions?

I know its not the 5% tax that Ab imposes which to my opinion is the lowest in Canada.
How can one calculate his salary deductions?

Thank you

if your gross monthly is $5,000 then your gross yearly is $60,000

In the province of Alberta you'll be paying $12,536/year, therefore your after tax income (new income) will be $47,464

And so your net monthly income is $3,955

Thank you very much newtone
How did you calculate this? Is this including federal and provincial deductions? I also found a site that does this sort of calculations in case anyone is interested but some of terminology I do not comprehend: http://www.paycheckcity.com/canada/coeatonca/cacalculator.aspx

Have a great day

In addition to tax, your employer would deduct mandatory CPP and EI from your paycheck. As a result, your net monthly income would be lower than $3,955. You might get around $3,408.

Although I'm not from Alberta; I've created my own Excel file that says your net income would come down to $3383.50/month for $5000.00 gross income for the year 2013.

Breakdown of Deductions (based on $60,000 yearly income):
Federal Tax = $10150.73
Provincial Tax = $ 6000.00 (10% for Alberta)
CPP Contribution = $ 2356.20
EI Contribution = $ 891.12
Total Deductions = $19397.05

Net Income = $60000.00 - $19397.05
= $40,601.95 /year
= $3383.49 / month

FYI, CPP & EI contributions may vary throughout the year. They are normally high during the beginning of the year, goes bit down after mid-year and go to nil in the last quarter when you meet the maximum contribution set by CRA. Hence, they are harder to calculate accurately.

You could easily use the above link I posted, which was Canada Revenue Agency Payroll Deductions Online Calculator instead of creating own excel file. ;D

Thank you all very much for contributing these helpful info!

PS. I thought the provincial tax for AB was only 5%?
