Total tax paid
R 39 821
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 1 339 to pay you R 116 228. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.43 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
33.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.1% tax rate now rises to 33.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
