Total tax paid
R 47 663
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 1 526 to pay you R 134 900. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.53 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.2% tax rate now rises to 34.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
