Total tax paid
R 207
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 137 to pay you R 6 833. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 0.30 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
3.0%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1% tax rate now rises to 3.0%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2% higher than what it seemed at first.
