Total tax paid
R 102 321 770
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 2 224 884 to pay you R 222 470 733. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 4.60 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 45% tax rate now rises to 45.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
