Summary
If you make R 198 000 a year living in South Africa, you will be taxed R 21 195. That means that your net pay will be R 176 805 per year, or R 14 734 per month. Your average tax rate is 10.7% and your marginal tax rate is 19.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of R 100 in your salary will be taxed R 19, hence, your net pay will only increase by R 81.
Bonus Example
A R 1 000 bonus will generate an extra R 810 of net incomes. A R 5 000 bonus will generate an extra R 4 050 of net incomes.
