Total tax paid
R 10 466
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 623 to pay you R 44 579. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 2.35 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
23.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.1% tax rate now rises to 23.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.1% higher than what it seemed at first.
