Total tax paid
R 1 070
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 232 to pay you R 11 613. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 0.92 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
9.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 7.2% tax rate now rises to 9.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
