Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 155 to pay you R 7 755. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 0.34 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
3.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.4% tax rate now rises to 3.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make R 93 060 a year living in South Africa, you will be taxed R 1 256. That means that your net pay will be R 91 804 per year, or R 7 650 per month. Your average tax rate is 1.4% and your marginal tax rate is 19.0%. 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 19, hence, your net pay will only increase by R 81.
Bonus Example
A R 1 000 bonus will generate an extra R 810 of net incomes. A R 5 000 bonus will generate an extra R 4 050 of net incomes.
