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.

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 453 174 912 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 203 749 383. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 249 425 529 par an, ou R 20 785 461 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.
