So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 35.7% tax rate now rises to 36.4%, 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 1 919 448 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 684 424. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 1 235 024 par an, ou R 102 919 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 35.7% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 45.0%. Ce taux d'imposition marginal signifie que votre revenu supplémentaire immédiat sera imposé à ce taux.
