Total tax paid
R 2 665
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 369 to pay you R 19 198. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 1.39 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
13.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12% tax rate now rises to 13.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
