Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 6 292 to pay you R 611 520. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 4.36 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
43.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 42.6% tax rate now rises to 43.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 7 338 240 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 3 122 880. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 4 215 360 par an, ou R 351 280 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 42.6% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 45.0%. Ce taux d'imposition marginal signifie que votre revenu supplémentaire immédiat sera imposé à ce taux. Par exemple, une augmentation de R 100 à votre salaire sera imposé de R 45, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 55.
