Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 612 to pay you R 43 500. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 2.31 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
22.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 21.7% tax rate now rises to 22.8%, 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 522 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 113 450. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 408 550 par an, ou R 34 046 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 21.7% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 36.0%. 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 36, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 64.
