Total tax paid
R 68 263
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 1 982 to pay you R 180 500. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.78 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36.7% tax rate now rises to 37.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
