R 1 722 490 506
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 37 445 944 to pay you R 3 744 576 680. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 4.60 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
45.5%
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.
