Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 1 217 to pay you R 104 000. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.34 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.2% tax rate now rises to 33%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 1 248 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 401 616. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 846 384 par an, ou R 70 532 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 32.2% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 41.0%. 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 41, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 59.

Bonus Example

A R 1,000 bonus will generate an extra R 590 of net incomes. A R 5,000 bonus will generate an extra R 2,950 of net incomes.
