Total tax paid
R 27 835
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 1 054 to pay you R 87 690. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.17 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.5% tax rate now rises to 31.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
