Total tax paid
R 27 772
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 1 053 to pay you R 87 540. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.17 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.5% tax rate now rises to 31.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
