Total tax paid
R 121 942
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 3 149 to pay you R 297 194. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 4.10 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
40.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 40% tax rate now rises to 40.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
