Total tax paid
R 69.69
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 36.72 to pay you R 1 836. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 0.38 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
3.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 1.8% tax rate now rises to 3.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.9% higher than what it seemed at first.
