Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 153 to pay you R 7 668. 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.
Summary
If you make R 92 016 a year living in South Africa, you will be taxed R 1 209. That means that your net pay will be R 90 807 per year, or R 7 567 per month. Your average tax rate is 1.3% and your marginal tax rate is 3.6%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of R 100 in your salary will be taxed R 3.63, hence, your net pay will only increase by R 96.37.
Bonus Example
A R 1 000 bonus will generate an extra R 964 of net incomes. A R 5 000 bonus will generate an extra R 4 819 of net incomes.
