Total tax paid
R 2 171
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 337 to pay you R 16 857. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 1.29 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
12.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 10.9% tax rate now rises to 12.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
