Total tax paid
R 16 460
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 779 to pay you R 60 230. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 2.73 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 26% tax rate now rises to 27.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1% higher than what it seemed at first.
