Total tax paid
R 70 269
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 2 026 to pay you R 184 860. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.80 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 36.9% tax rate now rises to 37.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
