Total tax paid
R 3 282
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 94.33 to pay you R 8 616. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.81 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
37.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 37% tax rate now rises to 37.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
