Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 2 377 to pay you R 220 000. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.93 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
38.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.2% tax rate now rises to 38.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 2 640 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 1 008 672. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 1 631 328 par an, ou R 135 944 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 38.2% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 45.0%. 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 45, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 55.
