On $105,500 a year — about US$75,000 — the combined deductions in this model are $28,794: $15,520 of federal income tax, $7,504 of Alberta province tax and $5,770 in payroll contributions, leaving take-home pay of $76,706 (an effective rate of 27.3%). Change the salary in the calculator to run any other figure through the same two layers.
The province tax starts from taxable income: gross pay minus the basic personal amount of $22,769. The bands in the table below then apply to that taxable figure, rising from 8% to 15%. The band thresholds in the file are the statutory thresholds less the basic personal amount, because the model applies the bands after the allowance; that is the same arithmetic as the legal non-refundable credit for the standard case, and it matches how the Canada country page presents its provincial layer.
The federal layer is the same model as the Canada calculator: a basic personal amount (federal) of $16,452, federal bands running from 14% to 33%, plus the employee payroll contributions Canada Pension Plan, CPP2 (second additional CPP), Employment Insurance. The Canada calculator page sets out the federal notes and simplifications in full.

Bands apply to taxable income — gross pay after the basic personal amount of $22,769. The thresholds shown are the statutory thresholds less that basic personal amount, because the model applies the bands after the allowance; the result is identical to the legal credit calculation for the standard case. Federal tax is charged on top, on the federal bands shown on the Canada page.
