Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 977 to pay you R 80 000. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.08 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.5% tax rate now rises to 30.4%, 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 960 000 par an en South Africa, vous serez imposé de R 283 536. Cela signifie que votre salaire net sera de R 676 464 par an, ou R 56 372 par mois. Votre taux d'imposition moyen est 29.5% et votre taux d'imposition marginal est 41.0%. Ce taux d'imposition marginal signifie que votre revenu supplémentaire immédiat sera imposé à ce taux. Par exemple, une augmentation de R 100 à votre salaire sera imposé de R 41, par conséquent, votre salaire net augmentera seulement de R 59.
