How much tax does the Canadian and American worker pay?



Hi people does anyone know how much Tax the american and canadian worker pay out of their salary.

I mean lets say I work for $3000 a month how much TAX do I need to pay out of that $3000. I hear its like Half $1500 is this true?

I need to know for both Canada and America.

Espicially Canada.

For Canada, it depends on which province you live in.

For $36k income, assuming you live in Alberta which province tax rate = 10%, you will need to pay:

1) Federal tax approx $4300 and
2) Provincial tax approx $$2100

i.e. total of $6400 (17.7% of $36k income).

When your income goes up, so does your tax rate. For Federal tax purpose, your next level of tax rate is approx 22% for up to $72k income; 26% for up to $118k income; and 29% for marginal income more than $118k. Of course, you will still need to pay provincial tax and the rate is different for each province.

Hope it helps
I don't know about the US but in Canada it's 33% for the first $60K you make a year and 50% for anything after that.

For example if you make $100K a year the first $60K is at 33% and the next $40K is at 50% so it averages out someplace in between.
