Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 139 683 to pay you R 13 950 552. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 4.59 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 44.9% tax rate now rises to 45.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make R 167 406 624 a year living in South Africa, you will be taxed R 75 153 653. That means that your net pay will be R 92 252 971 per year, or R 7 687 748 per month. Your average tax rate is 44.9% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. 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 45, hence, your net pay will only increase by R 55.
Bonus Example
A R 1 000 bonus will generate an extra R 550 of net incomes. A R 5 000 bonus will generate an extra R 2 750 of net incomes.
