Total tax paid
R 65 907
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 1 931 to pay you R 175 379. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.76 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36.5% tax rate now rises to 37.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
