Total tax paid
R 2 203
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 340 to pay you R 17 009. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 1.30 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
12.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11% tax rate now rises to 12.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
