Total tax paid
R 10 928
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 635 to pay you R 45 830. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 2.38 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
23.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 22.5% tax rate now rises to 23.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1% higher than what it seemed at first.
