Total tax paid
R 246
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 150 to pay you R 7 523. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 0.33 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
3.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.3% tax rate now rises to 3.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
