Total tax paid
R 776
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 204 to pay you R 10 212. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 0.76 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
7.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 5.6% tax rate now rises to 7.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
