Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 34.7% tax rate now rises to 35.4%, 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 1 734 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 601 196. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 1 132 804 par an, ou R 94 400 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 34.7% 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.
