Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 1 597 to pay you R 142 000. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.57 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
35.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.6% tax rate now rises to 35.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 1 704 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 588 812. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 1 115 188 par an, ou R 92 932 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 34.6% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 41.3%. Ce taux d'imposition marginal signifie que votre revenu supplémentaire immédiat sera imposé à ce taux. Par exemple, une augmentation de R 100 à votre salaire sera imposé de R 41.3, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 58.7.
