Total tax paid
R 2 441
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 359 to pay you R 18 195. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 1.34 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
13.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.4% tax rate now rises to 13.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
