Total tax paid
R 48 741
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 1 552 to pay you R 137 450. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.55 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.3% tax rate now rises to 35.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
