Total tax paid
R 356
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 164 to pay you R 8 214. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 0.43 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
4.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 2.3% tax rate now rises to 4.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 2% higher than what it seemed at first.
