Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 23 957 to pay you R 2 377 956. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 4.54 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
44.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 44.4% tax rate now rises to 44.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.5% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make R 28 535 472 a year living in South Africa, you will be taxed R 12 661 635. That means that your net pay will be R 15 873 837 per year, or R 1 322 820 per month. Your average tax rate is 44.4% and your marginal tax rate is 45.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of R 100 in your salary will be taxed R 45, hence, your net pay will only increase by R 55.
