Total tax paid
R 71 939
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 2 062 to pay you R 188 490. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.82 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37.1% tax rate now rises to 37.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
