Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 562 to pay you R 38 500. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 2.16 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
21.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 20.2% tax rate now rises to 21.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 462 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 93 185. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 368 815 par an, ou R 30 735 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 20.2% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 31.5%. Ce taux d'imposition marginal signifie que votre revenu supplémentaire immédiat sera imposé à ce taux.
