Total tax paid
R 19 382
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 852 to pay you R 67 535. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 2.87 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
28.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 27.4% tax rate now rises to 28.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
