Real tax rate
13.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.2% tax rate now rises to 13.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 234 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 28 460. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 205 540 par an, ou R 17 128 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 12.2% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 26.0%. Ce taux d'imposition marginal signifie que votre revenu supplémentaire immédiat sera imposé à ce taux. Par exemple, une augmentation de R 100 à votre salaire sera imposé de R 26, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 74.
