Total tax paid
R 17 918
Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer R 3 271 to pay you R 163 536. In other words, every time you spend R 10 of your hard-earned money, R 1.10 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
10.7%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 9% tax rate now rises to 10.7%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 1.7% higher than what it seemed at first.
