Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 379 to pay you R 20 162. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 1.45 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
14.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 12.6% tax rate now rises to 14.2%, 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 241 944 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 30 526. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 211 418 par an, ou R 17 618 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 12.6% 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.
