If you’re planning a move to Calgary, you might be worried about finding a good job that will provide for your family and help you pay Calgary rent. Rightfully so.
Unfortunately, the minimum wage in Alberta is only $15 an hour. In order to rent a one-bedroom apartment in Calgary, you’ll need to earn around $20.98 an hour, or $26.97 to rent a two-bedroom.
