Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 4 483 to pay you R 430 622. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 4.26 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
42.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 41.5% tax rate now rises to 42.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.6% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 5 167 464 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 2 146 031. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 3 021 433 par an, ou R 251 786 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 41.5% 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. Par exemple, une augmentation de R 100 à votre salaire sera imposé de R 45, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 55.
