Understanding Your Alberta Pay

Your take-home pay in Alberta is affected by federal income tax, Alberta provincial income tax, CPP contributions, CPP2 (the second additional CPP contribution introduced in 2024), and EI premiums.

Alberta's 2026 Tax Brackets

Alberta introduced a new 8% bracket on the first $61,200 of income in mid-2025. For 2026, the full structure is: 8% up to $61,200, 10% to $154,259, 12% to $185,111, 13% to $246,813, 14% to $370,220, and 15% above. Alberta has a $22,769 basic personal amount — the highest in Canada.

What is CPP2?

Starting in 2024, a second CPP contribution (CPP2) applies to earnings between the first ceiling ($74,600 in 2026) and a second ceiling ($85,000) at 4%. Many calculators don't include this yet.
