Total tax paid
R 22 527
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 928 to pay you R 75 053. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
29.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 28.8% tax rate now rises to 29.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
