Total tax paid
R 1 983
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 319 to pay you R 15 960. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 1.24 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
12.2%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10.4% tax rate now rises to 12.2%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.8% higher than what it seemed at first.
