Real tax rate

So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 44.1% tax rate now rises to 44.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 20 287 380 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 8 949 993. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 11 337 387 par an, ou R 944 782 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 44.1% 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. Par exemple, une augmentation de R 100 à votre salaire sera imposé de R 45, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 55.
