Not sure where you got a median after tax of $100,000. In alberta the Median gross household income is 93k (2015) which is pre-tax. That means 50% of families make less than $100k before tax.
I can't find a distribution of incomes other than median, but I am willing to bet that the vast majority of families (>75%) in Calgary make less than $200,000 pre-tax.
edit* I did find one article that indicated to be in the top 20% individually you would need to make about $78k. I think this backs up my assertion that it isn't "common" to have a household income over $200k. It would likely put you in the top 10-15% of households in calgary

For the record the OP is asking about Calgary and in Calgary in 2015 it was $102,700.
