Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 1 316 to pay you R 113 932. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.41 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 32.9% tax rate now rises to 33.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make R 1 367 184 a year living in South Africa, you will be taxed R 450 482. That means that your net pay will be R 916 702 per year, or R 76 392 per month. Your average tax rate is 33.0% and your marginal tax rate is 41.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of R 100 in your salary will be taxed R 41, hence, your net pay will only increase by 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.
