Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 1 372 to pay you R 119 500. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.45 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.3% tax rate now rises to 34.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 1 434 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 477 876. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 956 124 par an, ou R 79 677 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 33.3% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 41.0%. Ce taux d'imposition marginal signifie que votre revenu supplémentaire immédiat sera imposé à ce taux. Par exemple, une augmentation de R 100 à votre salaire sera imposé de R 41, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 59.
