Why this isn't "your" WCB rate
WCB-Alberta's rate-setting model assigns each rate group a shared premium rate reflecting that group's own claims history, but a small number of employers carry an individually experience-rated adjustment on top of it, and WCB-Alberta also publishes finer "industry" codes within some rate groups at their own slightly different rate. What follows is WCB-Alberta's own published rate group level — real, current, and public, and the level most employers' own rate matches directly.

Frequently asked questions
Is this my actual WCB-Alberta premium rate?
For most employers, yes — this is WCB-Alberta's own published rate for your rate group. A small number of employers carry an individual experience-rating adjustment, or fall under a specific industry code priced slightly differently from its rate group; check your own WCB-Alberta account statement to confirm.
What's Alberta's overall average WCB rate for 2026?
$1.46 per $100 of assessable earnings, blended across all 93 rate groups — confirmed directly from WCB-Alberta's own rate-setting page.
Does this cover other provinces?
No, this tool is Alberta (WCB-Alberta) only. See the related WorkSafeBC (British Columbia) and WSIB (Ontario) lookups above for those provinces' own boards.
Estimate only — not your assigned rate
This tool looks up WCB-Alberta's published 2026 rate-group-level rate and estimates a premium from an assessable earnings figure you provide. It does not model experience-rating adjustments or finer industry-code exceptions within a rate group. Confirm your actual rate and premium with WCB-Alberta directly.
