Total tax paid
R 42 579
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 1 405 to pay you R 122 796. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.47 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
34.3%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 33.5% tax rate now rises to 34.3%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
