Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 990 to pay you R 81 293. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 3.09 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
30.6%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 29.7% tax rate now rises to 30.6%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 0.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary
If you make R 975 516 a year living in South Africa, you will be taxed R 289 898. That means that your net pay will be R 685 618 per year, or R 57 135 per month. Your average tax rate is 29.7% and your marginal tax rate is 41.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of R 100 in your salary will be taxed R 41, hence, your net pay will only increase by R 59.
Bonus Example
