Total tax paid
R 901
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 216 to pay you R 10 806. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 0.83 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
8.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 6.3% tax rate now rises to 8.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
