Total tax paid
R 57 286
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 1 743 to pay you R 156 636. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.66 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
36.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35.5% tax rate now rises to 36.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
