Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 134 to pay you R 6 702. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 0.30 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
2.9%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1% tax rate now rises to 2.9%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make R 80 424 a year living in South Africa, you will be taxed R 804. That means that your net pay will be R 79 620 per year, or R 6 635 per month. Your average tax rate is 1.0% and your marginal tax rate is 1.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of R 100 in your salary will be taxed R 1, hence, your net pay will only increase by R 99.
Bonus Example
A R 1 000 bonus will generate an extra R 990 of net incomes. A R 5 000 bonus will generate an extra R 4 950 of net incomes.
