Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 827 to pay you R 65 000. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 2.83 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27% tax rate now rises to 27.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

Si vous gagnez un salaire brut de R 780 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 210 488. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 569 512 par an, ou R 47 459 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 27.0% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 39.0%. 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 39, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 61.
