Total tax paid
R 88 453
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 2 421 to pay you R 224 390. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.94 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
39.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 38.3% tax rate now rises to 39.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
