Total tax paid
R 15 542
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 756 to pay you R 57 935. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 2.68 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.5%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.5% tax rate now rises to 26.5%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1% higher than what it seemed at first.
