Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 364 656 to pay you R 36 447 840. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 4.6 goes to the government.
Real tax rate

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.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 437 374 080 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 196 639 008. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 240 735 072 par an, ou R 20 061 256 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 45.0% 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.
