Total tax paid
R 27 969
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 1 057 to pay you R 88 010. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.18 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
31.4%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 30.6% tax rate now rises to 31.4%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
