Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 361 to pay you R 18 417. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 1.35 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
13.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 11.5% tax rate now rises to 13.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 221 004 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 25 518. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 195 486 par an, ou R 16 291 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 11.5% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 21.6%. Ce taux d'imposition marginal signifie que votre revenu supplémentaire immédiat sera imposé à ce taux.
