Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 140 473 to pay you R 14 029 596. 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.
