Total tax paid
R 16 144
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 772 to pay you R 59 440. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 2.72 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
26.8%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 25.9% tax rate now rises to 26.8%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
