Total tax paid
R 1 034
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 229 to pay you R 11 440. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 0.90 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
8.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 7% tax rate now rises to 8.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
