Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 892 to pay you R 71 500. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 2.94 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.2% tax rate now rises to 29.1%, 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 858 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 241 747. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 616 253 par an, ou R 51 354 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 28.2% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 40.7%. Ce taux d'imposition marginal signifie que votre revenu supplémentaire immédiat sera imposé à ce taux.
