Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 90 to pay you R 4 500. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 0.3 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
2.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1% tax rate now rises to 2.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 54 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 540. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 53 460 par an, ou R 4 455 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 1.0% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 1.0%. 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 1, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 99.

Bonus Example

A R 1,000 bonus will generate an extra R 990 of net incomes. A R 5,000 bonus will generate an extra R 4,950 of net incomes.
