So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 39.3% tax rate now rises to 40%, 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 3 165 912 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 1 245 333. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 1 920 579 par an, ou R 160 048 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 39.3% 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.
