Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 263 to pay you R 13 173. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 1.06 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
10.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 8.6% tax rate now rises to 10.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make R 158 076 a year living in South Africa, you will be taxed R 13 609. That means that your net pay will be R 144 467 per year, or R 12 039 per month. Your average tax rate is 8.6% and your marginal tax rate is 19.0%. 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 19, hence, your net pay will only increase by R 81.
Bonus Example
A R 1 000 bonus will generate an extra R 810 of net incomes. A R 5 000 bonus will generate an extra R 4 050 of net incomes.
